Day 100!!!!

Today marks 100 days since Willie received his transplant.  This is a big day in the transplant world because it is the day that most patients get to go home.  We were lucky that Willie did so well that we have been able to be home for two weeks now. 
The day got off to a fabulous start when we learned the our friend Casey got good results on his bone marrow biopsy.  They found no cancer cells and he gets to join Willie in the cancer free club!  We are so happy for him and his family and celebrate in their joy with them.
Willie and I went to lunch in Chico to celebrate our victory.  We had an amazing meal at the Pour House which is a restaurant we've been talking about going to for a full year. 
"Do you feel like the past 100 days have gone by fast or slow?" I asked Willie as we ate our delicious burgers.
"It feels like longer." He said between bites of his fancy burger.
"To me it feels long and short at the same time." I agreed.
"Yeah." He nodded.  "There were parts that were really long, but overall it wasn't that bad."
I agreed.
It was 100 days spent in a total time warp.
And I'm grateful for every moment of it.

Things have been awesome the past two weeks since we've come home.  Willie continues to improve and has been feeling excellent.  Baseball season started again so he is busy watching his Giants play and annoying the dogs as much as possible.  The dogs couldn't be happier to be annoyed by him so it is a perfect scenario.

That's all the news for today.

Happy day 100 to all!
