Bike ride with Brinley, using my clip ins that I was wearing when I broke my neck, still has the mud from that day.  I haven't been biking much since then.  But I had fun today with my daughter.   I am in a complete and stringent remission.  I found out Monday, April 20, 2017, that my bone marrow transplant had resulted in the best possible outcome.  There was no sign of the proteins or light chains that were present before in my bone marrow and blood.  No new lesions were found in the PET scan.  Just hyper-metabolic activity from my bones healing.

I am back in the swing of things.  Life is good.  I have been back to work for a couple of weeks.  I have to be careful, and wear a mask in groups.  But I still haven't been sick with a cold or flu.  I am truly blessed.  I haven't had a serious cold or flu since I was diagnosed last July. Brinley just got home from her mission (Utica, New York) were she served the Lord and her fellow men for 18 months.  She is a joy to have at home.  She is taking a few cushy courses at BYUI to ease back into things (guitar, drawing, religion).  She tells us stories about her mission and keeps us on the straight and narrow.  She is always the life of the party. Link to her post when we arrived home together (I picked her up at the airport after my last procedure in January and we headed home to idaho).   https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=398095230540664&set=a.398095223873998.1073741829.100010205706758&type=3 Addison and me hanging out with a new hair cut.
