To say that Brian and I are feeling thankful would be an understatement. Most importantly, he is recovering from the transplant well. His tests and blood work are looking good, and the doctors are very pleased with his progress. He still has some residual side effects from the chemo, but overall is feeling okay.
Our Rip it For Rup fundraiser was a few weeks ago, and it went better than we ever could have hoped. Our gym members all came together to make the event a success, donating resources and time, and doing whatever they could to help. We had the incredible participation of the CrossFit community, many people who we had never even met, but who took the time to come out and support us. There were countless friends and family there, and I know we've said this before, but it was absolutely humbling to look around and see all these people there to support Brian.
We also finally got the go ahead from Brian's doctor to let the kids visit him. It has been a month since he's seen him. They read him books, showed him some of their Christmas gifts, and we played a game of Hi Ho Cherryo together. Although we were all wearing masks, and had to sanitize our hands constantly, it was oddly normal, and very much needed. Again, the kids impressed us, and kept their masks on the entire time, since the visit was contingent upon it.
Here's to having a healthy and happy New Year!
