ATG Part 1 of 4

Yesterday got away from us and Jo was not able to start her ATG until this morning. They started giving it to her at about 10:45am and it just finished now at 5:15pm. The afternoon was definitely a "little unpleasant", but Jo is sleeping a bit now. According to our nurse, Jo did extremely well with the first batch compared to most people. ATG normally has a lot of side effects - fever (Jo hit about 103.5) , chills, nausia, etc. However, as you all know, you'll never hear Jo complain about anything.

Jo & Tim-

Please know you and your families our in our prayers. We have laughed, cried and felt the joy of your wonderful relationship and know the blessing Anna has given to us all.

We know you will continue in joyful confidence that things will return to the "norm".

Jo & Tim -

My heart goes out to you and wishes you all the love and hope and support that I have to offer. I pray for your speedy return to Colorado strong, happy and on the mend again very soon. There is a huge empty space on the dance floor without the two of you!

We miss our Saint Jo! : )

Let it shine...

Hi Jo and Tim,
I think about you often and wish there was more we could do to help. I am a registered bone marrow donor and saw your comment about donating bone marrow for studies... if something like that could help them solve the mystery of aplastic anemia, I'd be more than willing to help. I'll do some research and do what I can.

Take care,
Kristina
