Post #70 - 1825 days and counting (5 Years)

Bill celebrated his 5 anniversary post transplant on Monday November 9, 2015.  Bill is doing great and looks great.

On Sunday November 8, 2015 Bill and I attended the Moffitt Transplant Reunion in Tampa, FL.  The event was well done and we enjoyed the presentations.  As Bill would say, "of all the people that attended the event, Moffitt ask Mike to speak to represent all the caregivers".  It was an honor for me to do so.  If you are friends with Bill or I on Facebook you can see a video of the speech.  As soon as I can, I will post the video here as well.

Larry Basil, who had TPLL, found Bill through this blog.  Bill and Larry kept in touch through Larry's journey and after the reunion this past Sunday, we met Larry Basil and his wife.  Larry had his transplant on October 6, 2015 at Moffitt.  Larry has been discharged and is outpatient near Moffitt until he reaches his 100 days.  Larry looks great and is doing well considering what he just went through.  Larry, stay strong!!

Next week, we go to Moffitt for Bill's 5 year check up.  I will provide an update after the visit.

Thanks for your continued support and dedication to reading the blog.  Keep the comments coming.

Post #69 doing well

I missed posting on Bill's 4th anniversary so better late than never.  Things are going well.  The Dr. Is very happy with his progress.  Bill now goes to see Dr. Ayala at Moffitt every six months.  All of his blood work continues to be in the normal range.

Bill is a strong man and I am very proud of the fight he has put up against this disease, he has won!!

Thanks to all the folks that read the blog and provide comments.  Keep them coming. We will continue to update our readers on Bill's success.

Mike
