Day -1

Last day of radiation! My body feels like it has been baking in an oven but one good thing, the nurses now get to lather lotion all over me and thats okay by me! Due to the radiation suntan effects i'm working on my bikini line. Tomorrow is called Day 0 (which i think is bullshit since i definitly feel like i've been through more that 0 days) thats what they call the day the transplant takes place. My donor marrow is due to arrive at 6 pm at Logan Airport tomorrow so actual transplant will take place late at night. Found out the donors blood type is different than mine so by the time this is all over I will end up with a totally different blood type - cool. Feeling a little better tonight but another hot nurse needs to medicate me so I have to go . . .

Taylor, This is my first ever blog experience! Wanted to let you know that we are all praying for you...and also for many, many Red Sox victories!

Seriously, good luck with the transplant. We want you back in Connecticut as soon as possible with a beautiful new blood type.

Hey Kiddo,

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better (must be that Yankee poster - ha ha). Sounds like you're enjoying all that attention from the nurses a little too much! And sounds like some of your friends (and relatives) are just a wee bit jealous of that! ha ha

Day Zero - WOOHOO! Hope everything goes well with the transplant.

Sending ALL POSITIVE VIBES!!

All our thoughts are with you tonight!
All our love,
Aunt Marsha and Uncle Ken XXOO

Hey Taylor -

My thoughts are with you - as are the thoughts of many people at ELHS.

Hope the transplant goes well - and that you come to appreciate the Red Sox at least a little bit more :)

Taylor we are so happy for day 1!! what a new man you will be! Do you think you will have a British accent? Better the donor was from London then boston because theres no telling if that would transplant you into a REDSOX fan!!!

Keep up yhe GREAT attitude and spunk with the nurses! You really should write a book because you tell your situation with such humorous truth!!
Take care favorite nephew! Your new life begins today! LIVESTRONG
