Mixed..

Had the regular visit..sorta mixed results. Becky has been seeing a rash develop on arms and back and some mouth sores are very irritating ...WE think GVH may be looking to play ball again. Hard to even think about it right now..We pray it is not GVH and only a rash that developed from the recent virus. We go back and see the Doctor in a few days..we will see what happens until then. We watch the rash..we make sure Becky gets plenty of fluids, which she is at the moment. Eating well etc.. She's doing pretty good around the house. Her levels are good..white count, platelets, hemoglobin..that is always a plus. Always nice to see and hear. But we do know there is an immune level (IGG)that was on the low side, thus she will need an IV boost when we go the next visit in a few days. Bummer. But again we are so thankful the other lab levels were good. And to repeat, we pray GVH is not making itself known again.

AS Thanksgiving approaches. We DO give thanks for where we are. We truly do. One sorta funny, but not so funny note. Becky fell on her knees yesterday. She hit them hard on our hardwood floors. Yes, it hurt, but the great news is, If this would have been a year ago, she would have had swelling from here to Oklahoma and bruising from here to Nova Scotia..but praise God. Her knees are sore..but NO big bruising or swelling. That means those platelets that have seen a wonderful increase over the past year, did their job..or rather there were enough to go around and not have to rush to the knees and have a mosh pit party..They were all spread out and able to handle the fall. Believe me, this is fantastic...

Hope you are fantastic and thankful.

God Bless you and keep you..

Celebrate life!

Bill and Becky..
