Hello all,
Today is day 47. Jim is doing very well. I remember when we first went to the bone marrow clinic and we met two men who were day 45. I so longed for us to be at that point instead of just beginning. Now, here we are. Jim gets better every day. He is still bald, but is getting his eye brows and mustache back so he is very happy about that. It also makes him look a little healthier. I imagine his hair is soon to follow. It is a mystery though what it will look like because often after losing your hair it can come in a different color and texture. I can hardly imagine Jim as a red head (Ha Ha). His eye brows and mustache are black though, so we will see.
On Tuesday, Jim went to his last weekly appointment at LDS and now will be followed by his oncologist here. So, that means less SLC trips for us. We are glad about that. Jim is still not back at work yet. He still has to be very careful about germs until day 100. His stomach is slowly coming back to normal. He is not having to take the nausea pills as much. His energy is also coming back. It will be a while before he is 100%, but as long as we see progress, we are good.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

Hey Suz & Everyone, I know this is late (it's the 18th and the last time you posted was the 3rd) so shame on me for not reading sooner... However, it is wonderful to hear news such as Jim's getting eyebrows, I just think that would be the worst, to be without eyebrows, sheeesh... (grin). Seriously though, it's good to hear that it continues to get better for Jim every day. How is Suzanne doing though? Is it getting better for her every day? For a mother of 4 with a husband who has recently been very sick, things have got to be rough... So if you get a chance, why don't you post how you are doing, I know we'd all like to hear how Suz is doing one of these times... We love you all and it really is wonderful to read the good news, I know it will continue to get better and better... Then you have to come visit us... :) Love you, Dave & Cindy...
