3 months post-transplant update













Here we are in Yakima for a valentines weekend. I got my Covid and flu vaccines and have been more comfortable getting out and about. We had a great dinner at Cowiche Kitchen and saw the BEST live music across the street at Kana Winery.  I usually wear my bald head with pride but it’s fun to wear a wig and do “hair and makeup” once in awhile. I also had some appointments in Seattle and was able to finally visit my parents.  I also got to see some of my besties for a fun Galentine’s day. 

I’m noticing an improvement in some symptoms. I really only tell Jeff when I notice little things here and there. It’s hard to share things in my blog because I’m so early in my recovery. But I have a lot of hope.  I’m still working out at home as I’m not ready to use our neighborhood gym just yet. At six months I can start getting my childhood vaccines again. By the end of 2 years post-transplant I will be caught up on everything. But, that’s a long way off so we are still trying to stay home and stay healthy most of the time. 

As always, thank you for all of your love and support. 

Xoxo Bridget

6 month update

Six month post-transplant update: Filled with Optimism 6 months ago I underwent a stem cell transplant with the hope of stopping further progression of my MS.  Last week I was in Seattle for appts and I’m very encouraged with how things are going.  Things are happening!  Slight progress tells me that I’m not what they would call a “non-responder”, meaning the transplant was a success. My neurologist appt showed I am back to baseline with my walking. Baseline- meaning pre-transplant.  There are two parts to recovering. First is recovering from the chemo and transplant. My hematologist is happy with my numbers and I was able to start getting my childhood vaccines, all of which were wiped out from the transplant process.  The second part is to work on my MS symptoms. Many have improved since the transplant. Heat-tolerance, fatigue, brain-fog, bladder issues, numbness, the list goes on…..all showing improvement.  The main issue now is how to deal with prior dam...

Fall 2025 (Let’s Go Mariners!)

We are almost a year into recovery and I thought it was time for another update.  Well shoot! We were moving along so smoothly. Unfortunately, a high fever in July set the stage for a really long summer. The good news is now I know I need to avoid getting sick. What happens is that it triggers all of my symptoms to fire all at once. Symptoms that were mostly in check. My walking was very unstable all summer.  So, here we are in September and I’m finally feeling optimistic again. I’m excited to concentrate on my health again. It’s been a tough time with my folks having to both move this summer to different places.  Dad is finally settled but we are now moving mom again.  She did not take well to the memory care setup we placed her in and so now we’ve found what we hope will be a good place for her.  Fingers crossed for both of them.  It’s so hard to accept they are not able to be together.  My four sisters and I are closer than ever before, so that is o...
