It has been a little while so I wanted to give a little update on things.
We just got back from Maryland to our home in Indiana a couple of weeks ago. I had successful bone marrow transplant done in January at the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in Maryland. I just got the call that the UAB1 test came back, and I no longer have VEXAS. This is the best news. It is still a long road to full recovery but the is such great news. I still have to wait until July when I go back for my follow up and have a bone marrow biopsy done to see if the Blood Cancer is gone but the doctors are very confident that it is gone as well. This journey has been a roller coaster of emotions. I am so thankful for my donor who has blessed me with a second chance at life. Even through these difficult times God has blessed us in so many ways. We are very thankful.
I was not able to work on or do any updates to either Morels game while I was out in Maryland. The project files that I had access to for the games would just constantly crash. I do not know if it was an issue with the laptop I was using or an issue with the project files.
I spent most of my time in Maryland just trying to recover from the transplant and then working on my solo game Bigfoot Life. We have also started to work on the next Morels game. Morels: Out of this World. I can't wait to share more information on this game. The goal was when I got back I was going to do an update for both Morels games based on a lot of the feedback I've seen posted in the Steam Hubs. I also released a demo of Bigfoot life and entered it in the Steam Next Fest. Well, this has ended up being a little too much all at once and I've actually started to get a little bit of GVHD (Graft Versus Host Disease). The doctors believe it could just be from stress of over doing it with the game stuff. They have suggested that I step back a little and give my body more time to heal from the transplant. I decided to pulled Bigfoot Life out of the Steam Fest as well.
I am still planning on doing the updates to the Morels games as well as give out more information on the new game. Right now though I've decided from feedback from my doctor's that it is best if I ease back into things and don't feel so rushed to do everything. Recovery from the transplant takes a long time and I have to prioritize my health. So, the updates and information on the new game are coming. They may just take a little longer than I originally was hoping.
Thank you for all of your support and understanding.
