Just a quick update on how things are going for the Feyh family.  I got back into town on Friday, September 17th around 5:30 just in time to pick Alexa up from after school daycare.  Her and I had been planning a date at Kiku's, the Japanese restaurant that cooks at your table.  That is Alexa's favorite place to eat.  She got to attend her school skating party on Saturday and had a friend come home with us and spend the night.  On Sunday morning we went to church at Hayden High School where mass is being held for Mother Teresa Catholic Church.  
Janelle told me that Daegen was put on TPN (nutrition through the IV) either on Sunday or Monday.  His eating was declining enough that the doctors decided it was best to start him on TPN.  As I said in an earlier update, the transplant took place without any problems.  Now we are just waiting to see if my stem cells do their job.  Janelle asked Daegen one night what made him sad and he said he really wanted to see his sister Alexa.  As hard as this is on Janelle and I living in separate cities, it is probably harder on Alexa and Daegen being away from one another.  
The main doctor for the protocol told Janelle that Daegen is doing better than most kids at this point.  Janelle and I continue to hope and pray that Daegen will continue to do well and that the transplant will work this time.  I am encouraged by what the doctors tell us and their optimism that the transplant has worked well in the past.  There are really no long term results yet since this particular protocol is fairly new.  
I plan on going back to Memphis on Sunday, October 3rd and about one hour after I land, Janelle gets on another plane and flies home to be with Alexa.  I will be three more weeks in Memphis and Janelle will be three more weeks at home with Alexa.  Just a little note, I have recovered from my procedure and am not in any kind of pain.  Once I got the medication I needed, I finally felt better.  
As I continue to get more information from the doctors I will pass the information along.  Remember to visit the web site, www.dmanhero.com and sign the guest book.  God Bless.
