Bitter Sweet Day…
May 7th, 2007 by admin
This is a great day for AmberLee! We heard great news from her doctor today! First of all I want to thank everyone for fasting, praying, putting her name in the temple, etc….. I know it played a big part. 
We found out that her transplant has already completely grafted. He made the comment that in his time working in the transplant field he has never seen one graft so quickly, and he is not a young man. I can’t begin to tell you how happy we are. Thank you again so much everyone.
Not to get everyone’s hope up or anything but since she grafted so quickly it could mean that she can get out sooner than expected. He said it all depends on how quickly her throat heals, her nausea/dizziness, and is eating normally. The only concern right now is they don’t understand why she is still so nauseous. They have tried every medicine imaginable and nothing is touching her. For example right now they have her on a patch that’s suppost to help with sea sickness. They are leaving nothing out. Hopefully something will begin to work.
You’re probably wondering why the title is called bitter sweet. Well if you go to Melissa’s, my sister, blog you will see. Tad just found out a few days ago that he will know today when he will be shipped out to Iraq for a year. Everyone new it was coming at some time, but you always pray it will be later than sooner. Our prayers will be with their family, and especially Tad as he will be going into a very hostile environment. We know he will be watched over and protected.
Tad we love you and will be praying for your safe return.

I am so glad that Amberlee is taking to the bone marrow transplant so well. This is the first time I have looked at this website and it is a great thing that you have decided to do. I read all of the blogs and was truly touched. I will be visiting her this weekend. Do I need to find a babysitter for my little one? or can I take her with me? You are truly a strong man Adam and I admire your courage through this whole ordeal.
Amberlee,
I love you and it doesn’t matter what is missing on the outside the beautiful person that you are on the inside makes you beautiful on the outside. I can’t wait to talk to you. If something happens and you are not feeling up to visitors just let me know! Let me know if you want me to bring anything down for you! You are truly an example to me and someone I strive to be like. Your warm spirit and great sense of humor make my days smile. Thank you so much for being such a great friend and example.
Your family is in our prayers. Please let me know if you need anything, a babysitter, an ear, or a shoulder!
Sorry I know this is more of a letter than a comment!
Love,
Dayna SUe Perez
That is wonderful! Every little bit of good news feels like a reason to celebrate and give thanks. How much longer do the doctors estimate she will be in the hospital?
