Steady..

Yes, still the GVH (Graft vs. Host disease) issue..but otherwise, quite good and steady. Eating well, cooking, some light cleaning,..hey, that sounds almost normal huh? The abnormal; still no driving, still many meds, some foods very discomforting to chew, due to mouth issues, still a bit tough to navigate or climb more than 5 steps..but seriously, there is some calmness settling in. Some sense of maybe really turning the corner, but again, this remains to be seen and realized. We go for the hospital checkup in a few days. We hope and pray the lab levels are ALL good! One other big step toward some normalcy was the fact that I could back east and see my Dad for a short visit..really needed to see him due to some health issues and more. Haven't seen him in approx. year and a half. It was a very productive and meaningful visit. It is the 'winter' of his life. Yes, declining health, but much to be thankful for, very much. He has always had amazing health and an admirable zest for life when many would just settle for the easy chair and 'auto-living'. He was on Facebook in the early days! Many of you have been there and done that with your parents and many are you are there now. You know what this is like. We do what we can to make this season one of comfort and dignity.

Much love to you all. God's peace be with you..

Celebrate life,

Bill, Becky and Abbey
