The last few weeks

It's all been a bit of a shitty whirlwind.
Brett has been in hospital and out of hospital. Lots of chemo and mountains of painful side effects.
We've had a partial tissue match in USA which was not great.

I don't mean because the match was American I meant because it was only a partial match.
I don't care which country the donor comes from or which planet for that matter.
Martian bone marrow - yes please anything for a chance of life for my son.

We've had depressing talks about what hurdles Brett has to jump over before they'll even go to transplant.
We've had equally depressing talks about having only a partial match and what that means.

And then it all changed
We have a new match found in Germany. This donors tissue type is only a 'minor mismatch' and suddenly it's smiles all round.
And the husband and I wonder why were feeling exhausted.
