On the health front, I unfortunately tossed my cookies again last night. Cassie has been busy researching what she thinks my issue may be and on Monday we see an awesome gastroenterologist from U of M. Many thanks to a neighborhood friend who is a gastroenterologist at U of M who hooked us up big time with this appointment. He even visited me when I was in the ER yesterday to check in on me. It pays to have doctor friends. If you don't have any, find some!!!

Happy Birthday, Iris! I was also diagnosed with MM when my little girl was 6 months old, so every birthday is such a big deal! Here's to many, many more b-day celebrations for you and Iris!
Happy Birthday Iris! I love the picture of you playing in the mud, with a white coat no less!
Happy Birthday to Iris! Every so often the Good Lord sends a piece of heaven to Earth and we get to hold it in awe in our arms. How blessed you are.
On the other front... when you're tossing your cookies, picture the "mm critters" rushing as lemmings to the sea... Leaving!!!
Hang tough. We're praying for you,

Happy Birthday Iris!
Definitely a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, little one!
And Phil - I like to think that side effects are proof the drugs are working. I hope so!
I agree with Roobeedoo. Though I was relieved Tim did not have the vomiting and diarrhea that many have with transplant, his did not work. Others who had worse GI troubles got a much better result. There is even some thought in the medical minds that if your liver does too good a job of processing the chemo and neutralizing it, it may not work as well on the cancer.
So not unlike pregnancy where the morning sickness is a good sign and means your hormones are where they need to be,
it sure sounds like this may be further proof your MM is taking a serious thrashing! I suppose this also means that the partying of Tim's late teens and early 20's did not damage his liver as much as he might have thought. ;o)
Happy Birthday to Iris and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Happy Birthday to sweet little wonderful Iris!! With love from her fan club in NC!
