We are doing well. Jim is getting stronger every day. They put him on steroids for his graft vs. host disease and that seams to have also increased his energy. He actually ate 650 calories yesterday and was up walking twice. If all continues to go well I think we will be able to get him home this next week. He will be on home health and have physical therapy and need to go to the clinic three times a week but none the less, he will be home. Yea! Keep your fingers crossed.
The kids and I are busy in the evenings getting the house ready for Jim. Because he will be immunocompromised for quite some time, we are cleaning, painting, changing filters and even are getting new carpet. (Good excuse for new carpet, huh?} I just couldn't see cleaning that deep but bringing him home to 20 year old carpet. That had got to be harboring some yucky stuff. So, we will be spic and span around here. The doctors told us just to plan on some hospitalizations after for various infections, but we want to prevent as much as we can. Last transplant I went through Lysol like I go through milk. Time to stock up again.
Today I AM THANKFUL FOR my good health and energy to carry out all of this preparation.
