Getting there..

Well, feels like we are close to discharge..Dr. Snyder is putting Becky on oral meds. That's definitely a stamp of 'going home' approval. But still don't have specific day. We think during the weekend. She is feeling like she is ready. Though a few small issues still exist, she is stronger and her walking is quite good. This will be a month long 'tune up' as they call it at the hospital. A month, who knew. Yet, as I have said, we are not shocked at this detour. I reluctantly say it could happen again within the next year.. Please pray not so. Please.
We know of others in this illness 'arena' who have experienced far less complications and we know of others who have endured catastrophic and seemingly endless complications. So, we just give thanks for the medical treatment we receive..for the advancement in medicine that has allowed Becky to be healed of the 'original' disease-Myelofibrosis...and even though the Graft vs. Host is powerful and debilitating in it's own right, we still know there is a City of Hope and an awesome God of Hope that is even more powerful..

Carry on..with faith, hope and love..and yes the greatest of these is love. A medicine one cannnot purchase with even the best of medical plans..

Celebrate life..wash the car with your own hands..

Love,

Bill, Becky and Abbey..
