The Very Good, the Better, and the Best


We are doing fine, we just have not been doing much.

Bob has recovered from the bone marrow transplant, and his blood tests are in the normal range. His physician declared that he had a "very good, partial remission." He's just starting his long-term, low-dose chemotherapy which includes a pill per day, one 20-minute infusion each month, and monthly blood tests. He’s received a few immunizations (like tetanus and flu) but can't start his "baby" shots (measles, mumps, etc.) for over another year. But wait…

The better news is that Bob’s handsome white hair has returned – but now it’s curly. Thank goodness he likes it! He received his first professional haircut since the transplant last week. But wait…

The best news is that his neuropathy is abating and is fairly confined to the bottoms of his forefeet. He hasn't taken pain pills for the last several weeks.

So many prayers answered.
