Hello everyone, I just wanted to briefly give an update on how things are going. The last month or so I have been really struggling with pain, fatigue, stress, and being sick.

Day 100
I can’t believe it’s been one hundred days since I received my stem cells. It truly has been a roller coaster. Tyler and I celebrated by going to see country artists Kane Brown and Chris Young on Friday! Coming back from Germany, I was feeling tired but a little better than when I had left.… Continue reading Day 100
Week 11: Hoping To Get Back To Where I Was Before
I felt pretty good when I got back from Germany initially. I was just really tired, but my pain was better (not gone but better) and I had a little more energy than normal. Then about a month ago I got an upper respiratory infection and it all seemed to go downhill from there. After… Continue reading Week 11: Hoping To Get Back To Where I Was Before
My Final Week of Treatment at Villa Medigrun
The weekend after receiving my stem cells was a little rough. We stayed in for the most part and our weekend consisted of movies, card games, and resting. I ended up not getting that much sleep, but I don't believe this was a result of my stems. A week or so before coming to Villa… Continue reading My Final Week of Treatment at Villa Medigrun

Arrival And The First Few Days of Treatment at Villa Medigrun
We arrived in Germany around 12pm on Sunday October 15th after traveling for about 13 hours. The owner of our Air B&B offered to pick us up, which was great. He drove like a bat out of hell since there are no highway speed limits in Germany, so it was about a 20 minute drive… Continue reading Arrival And The First Few Days of Treatment at Villa Medigrun
It’s Becoming Real!!
So I’m not going to sugar coat anything here.....I’m nervous for our trip. In a little less than 48 hours we will be on our way to Germany.

The “Oh So Wonderful” Thymus Injections
As I mentioned in my pervious post, to prepare for my treatment in October I have to receive thymus therapy via injections. These injections help increase the number of stem cells in your blood and start the immune modulation part of your therapy. The immune modulation and thymus injections will continue in Germany as well. I… Continue reading The “Oh So Wonderful” Thymus Injections
