Day 44, a weekend at home

Day 44 for me today. 44 days since I received my brother's stem cells (bone marrow). And I'm writing this from home and not the hotel I've been in since June 24th. Everything looks really good and I feel great. I have an appointment at Duke next week. Depending on some test results, I will either stay at Duke for ...about two more weeks or continue north to some crazy dinner at the Brownstone. A fellow patient asked me today how I was able to get "released" after only 44 days. I told him that I have a lot of relentless people pulling for me. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for all your support.

No words necessary

The Kindess of Strangers

It has been humbling for me to watch Jerry battle this disease and humbling to read letters of support from people around the country. Here is a note I received today, for instance:

"Although I don't know your brother personally, he is my brother too. I work for the same organization as Jerry but in our San Francisco office. I heard about Jerry's battle through his co-worker/friend and immediately felt compelled to assist in any way I could. Please relay on to Jerry that my wife and I are praying for him and for the rest of your family. If there is anything that we could do for you please do not hesitate to contact me."

My brother belongs to a truly remarkable "Band of brothers." I wish I could join...
