Nick Asoian’s Recovery

Hello again everyone, Well I have been out of the hospital for about three weeks now and loving it! I am living in Cherry Creek for a few months with my great friend and surrogate sister Mel. Of course I can't wait to get back home to Vail but right now it is nice to be down here in the warmer weather without the extra few feet of snow! My blood counts have continued to go each week and today we may have found out some of the reason for that; Nate's cells have now taken over 100%! This is such great news and one of the big tests I've been waiting on the results for. One last blood test to check that I have gone for O+ to A+ and Nate and I will officially be genetically identical! The doctor is nearly certain that I will be able to go to Matt and Maren's wedding in July and that I should be able to start back to work with the Ski Club in the fall. I have my next PET scan in about three weeks to check and see that I am actually in remission but so far things are looking good for those results. Once we get the results from that scan the doc should be able to tell me with certainty that I will be able to coach and that hopefully this will all be over soon! Thanks to everyone again for all of your support through this and I will send out another update after I get the results of the PET scan. Nick
