Troy got out of the hospital today. The sores in his throat got progressively worse throughout last week, but he started to turn around this past weekend. These sores, as well as massive fatigue, are all "par for the course" the doctors say - so no need to be alarmed.
The good news is that he is home now, feeling much better, and can swallow liquids again.
The great news is that his white count is jumping by leaps and bounds. For instance, it was .8 yesterday and 2.6 today! The doctors say this is a good sign and officially declared that Troy has "grafted!" That means the stem cells have taken root in his bone marrow and that things are on the up and up!
He will be in isolation for about another week (which means those pesky trips to the doctor's office everyday at 7:00 AM!) - so please send emails, cards, and love to support him during this difficult time.

Any updates on how Troy is doing? I've been reading the blog for months, and praying for Troy's complete recovery.
