Jo's Battle with Aplastic Anemia

In November 2004, Jo and I found out that we were going to have a baby! At the same time, Jo was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia - a medical term that means her bone marrow was failing; it was no longer doing its job of producing white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. On June 17th, 2005, Jo gave birth to a beautiful baby girl - Anna Claire Szymanski. Anna's health was perfect and has continued to be perfect! This Blog is dedicated to Jo’s journey along the road to recovery.

Waiting...Waiting...

Last week, Jo saw Dr. Anderlini in Houston and we really didn't learn anything we didn't already know. MD Anderson pulled their own bone marrow sample from the opposite hip from where the May and July marrow was pulled. When we get the results of that sample back, we'll have news. Until then, we are just trying to get settled into the Kindergarten routine!

What a beautiful young lady - thank for posting the latest pictures. Can't figure out if the impish grin is strictly Tim, strictly Jo, or a combination of both! :) Luv you guys!; 5:52 PM
