Mark and Dianna met with Dr. Zangari today and everything looks great. The Echo and EKG results show no problems with Mark's heart and Dr. Z found no infections. Mark hasn't thrown up since Monday and is no longer having trouble with the random sweating episodes.
Mark is doing so well, in fact, that Dr. Z gave him the go-ahead to make a trip to the dunes as long as Mark doesn't over-do it. Dianna may drive him out for a day this weekend, weather permitting. He should continue to avoid large crowds and stay away from anyone that is sick.
Dr. Zangari thinks Mark may be allergic to the bandages that were covering his port. He pulled his port and will go ahead with the double lumen tube in his arm when they do the next stem cell transplant.
Mark and Dianna will go back to the hospital on Wednesday and Mark will begin his maintenance drugs then. Assuming Mark is healthy and strong, Dr. Z is forecasting mid-June for the second transplant.
Hope you all have a very nice Easter.

It's wonderful to hear some good news. It's kinda ironic that I'm sitting here listening to Miley Cyrus, The Climb, on the radio. Although she is talking about dreams I can totally relate it to your situation. If you haven't heard it I would recommend taking a listen to it. I hope you continue to have good days. My thoughts are still with you.
Love,
Tresha
