Jerry, checking in



It’s day 92. 92 days since I had my bone marrow wiped out and replaced by my brother's. (Who was the first one to try this crazy idea?) Everything is still going great. The only complaint I have lately is that I’m tired a lot. All the medicine I’m taking is probably more responsible for my fatigue than anything else. The docs are continuing to monitor me at least a couple times a week, making sure that my crazy brother’s marrow doesn’t mess up what used to be a very healthy body. My hair is starting to grow back. My kids say that it’s coming in a slightly different color. It looks ok to me. Thank you for all your support and all the great Relentless photos. I could not do this without all of you.

Relentless, indeed




Mark to Jerry: "Things going boom, bad guys with guns, and good guys with even bigger guns. Wish you were there pal."

Jerry to Mark: "It's been about 11 weeks so far. Sometimes I miss work, sometimes I don't. But I always miss the people. I work with such friendly people. Wish I was there today..."

My brother, still smiling



Feeling great today. But stopped in to see the doc and they hooked me up to this stupid machine. That's me today, 20-25 pounds lighter and no reason to shave this week! Thanks for messages and notes. You guys are great.
