Day +365

It's been a year to the day since Zoe's transplant.

She's doing great, so great--but you've probably gotten that general idea from the last several, though infrequent posts.

Next week we go to SCCA on Monday and Wednesday for check-ups and conferences that constitute her one year anniversary check-in. Last time we saw Dr. Carpenter it sounded like he'd be starting her tacrolimus (anti-GVHD medication) taper at this one year mark. We'll have more news on that, as well as on other "next steps"after next week.

As I am short on time for words, here are a couple videos that show how far our little Z.E.N. girl has come. The first is of her taken one day before transplant. It was hard for me to watch again--she's so doped up and weak in the vid, but it shows her spirit shining through.

The second one was taken of Zoe just today.

Enjoy.

It's such a joy to see Zoe on her scooter! What a miracle (well, a lot of blood, sweat and tears, too) that she can propel her body through space with such ease. But now that she's so mobile, you and Jeff are in trouble big time! Toddler-proofing the house is quite a thrilling sport.
Thanks for the update, as always.
