Day 0 Happy birthday!



Here is Derek getting his cells back. The nurses say "Happy Birthday!" Im assuming its because this is the first day of the rest of your healthy life! He is cuddling with one of Camden's blankets that smell like Camden. He is also surrounded by pictures of Camden. He says they make him feel better. Right now its just a waiting game til his cells engraft back into his body and start making red and white blood cells. I am hoping it is 2 weeks at the most. He needs to come home, Camden misses his daddy. And Daddy misses his baby.

wow, you don't know me, but i am a friend of conan and chrissy's. i just have to tell you that i think you are an amazing person. my mother in law has cancer, and they live on our property. i get to see a lot of what goes on with the chemo and such, but not up close and personal like you do. you have amazing strength, and i am hoping and praying with you that the transplant is a success, and this will be a distant memory. good luck to you all!!
