Our 'day 100' consult did not live up to our hopes and expectations:  the pneumonitis and resulting systemic steroid treatments have set Faye's 'day 100' recovery goal back at least 2 but probably 3 more months.  'Day 100' is typically when the Doctors reduce some of a BMT patient's restrictions and medications. The good news is that Faye's recovery truly is coming along, finally, after a very difficult crash landing from the steroids. Faye is super close to finishing up first semester (one more final to go!). And with the generous and wonderful ongoing support from CCHS, Karl and Bev, Faye has a plan for second semester that will allow her to graduate with her class!  Faye's hair is growing in quickly, but frustratingly she still has the steroid 'moon face' that, dare I say it, is waning.  Faye's energy level is increasing slowly and she'll soon enjoy some easy yoga designed for patients in recovery - and - a special home visit from a masseuse (we really do have the best friends!)! Happy February, and happy spring just around the corner! XXXOOO ~L
