Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all who have donated so far to this campaign. At this point, we are doing well and the funds raised have been saved in case of unexpected medical expenses and household needs. This campaign is now on hold, we just ask for your love and prayers.



Previous Information:



This Go-Fund Me Page is for Barry Stouffer of Harrisburg, PA. Barry was diagnosed with rapidly developing acute myeloid leukemia on October 17, 2014 and was released exactly 21 days later. His first course of chemo (a very heavy dose called induction chemo) was completed on October 24, 2014 and the side effects for a few weeks afterwards was probably the toughest part of this whole journey thus far.



In the beginning of December (over his 50th birthday!) Barry received a second round of chemo, lower dosage chemo called "consolidation". Unfortunately a week after he got home, he wound up back in the hospital for an infection that eventually required minor outpatient surgery.



This pushed back our transplant schedule, but luckily Barry's donor match was ok with the delay, and Barry received the peripheral blood stem cell transplant on 1/28/15 with no immediate complications. Barry was released from the hospital on February 6, 2015.



As of this update (2/14/15...Happy Valentine's Day!) Barry is home and doing very well. His blood counts are coming up gradually. He is going to the hospital daily for bloodwork and taking immunosuppressant medications which are being carefully monitored. The 100 days post transplant are the most critical...only 83 more to go!



Funds that have been raised from this GoFundMe account have been saved to go to any home and travel expenses to and from the hospital, medical bills and copays. So far our insurance has been wonderful, so we are praying all continues as well as it has been.



This will be a challenging year for our family, but we have a good support system in our corner, and great doctors helping us.



Thank you all.

With love,

Heather Stouffer
