Jeremy went to hospital today for his 2 Year Post Transplant Clinic. There are two major follow-up clinics for transplant survivors at 2 years and 5 years post transplant. We are thankful to report that his eyes, teeth, heart, lungs and blood results are all good! We were also thankful that there was no traffic on the way to hospital this morning (hooray for school holidays!), and that the eye clinic took the initiative to rearrange his afternoon appointment to earlier in the day so that we finished much quicker than expected.

Another good piece of news is that his next checkup with the bone marrow transplant doctor will be in 6 months' time!

Praise God for the wonderful news that Jeremy's bone marrow aspirate results are MRD Negative! Thank you for praying for him!

This means that last Wednesday was his final bone marrow aspirate! He will still have regular blood tests (6 monthly or so) as well as other health checkups, but no more bone marrow aspirates!

We are thankful that Jeremy's bone marrow aspirate today was uneventful, and that the bone marrow transplant doctor had arranged for his 2-year bloods to be taken under general anaesthetic. We will hopefully know the results of both his aspirate and his bloods by the end of next week.

His next appointment at hospital clinic will be for his 2-year checkup of his heart, lungs, eyes, teeth and bones, and this will be at the end of September.

T+699 or 23 months!

Praise God that Jeremy is 23 months post-transplant today!

He is looking forward to his bone marrow aspirate on Wednesday 17 August 2011 - partly because he wants to have a "middle of the night party" on Tuesday before he begins his fasting, and also because he has ordered a special meal to eat when he wakes up from his general anaesthetic on Wednesday!

Please pray that the results of this bone marrow aspirate will be MRD Negative.

This morning before school, Jeremy had an appointment at Australian Hearing Services. He had another audiogram, which thankfully showed no further hearing loss.

He also did some different tests - listening the recording of a man reading a sentence and then telling us what the man said. These tests were carried out both with and without his hearing aids, and then again with background noise. In all cases, Jeremy was able to understand what the man was saying.
