Great news! My heart passed the secondary testing, including a right heart catheterization pre and post fluid bolus. This helped the doctors establish that my heart should be able to cope with the stressors of the stem cell transplant.
I am cleared for the transplant! We are full speed ahead! And, I will be home tonight to kiss my babies.
Thanks to everyone for your messages of support. They mean the world to me.
Oh Holly, so happy to see this post. Somehow I just felt you were going to get through this. So thankful you are this far along with the process. And very happy you will be home with your guys tonight. God bless. Bonnie

Sounds like things are going well. Just wanted to say hi and let you know we're thinking of you. It cracked me up, your story about Despicable Me. I share custody with my son and when I miss him I watch Phineus and Ferb. We really don't leave the kids when we are away, do we?
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for the outcome. Glad you're able to enjoy a little of Chicago while you're there. You are very inspiring and look forward to a great outcome for you and your family.
All the best,
Karen
Holly- congrats on your passing your heart tests so you can proceed with full speed ahead. We are happy you can get home for a while with family before your next big step. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Wil G
