Day 47

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.
