Sunday Update -

The doctors told Trish in rounds this morning, she is the poster child for the way a MUD transplant should go...she's looking good and getting all the right bad effects at the right time.

Last night the chemo "sunburn" on her back started to peel and the skin broke -- Vanessa her nurse bu some anti-bacteria cream on her to insure she doesn't get infected. Her nausea comes and goes, right now it is good and she is eating a pudding I brought in from the store. She asked for pudding, because it would be soft and cool. Her biggest issue right now is the mucuscitis. She says it is getting better, but it still hurts to swallow.

Starting Monday the graft versus host team will start following her. Apparently they have a bone marrow transplant team and a special team just for graft versus host disease. There's still a lot that could go wrong, but at the moment things are really looking good.

For those who have been reading along with us since February or earlier, here's an update on the construction at Johns Hopkins. Just a refresher...when we arrived in October 2005 -- there was a parking lot on the land. Before Trish left in February 2006, the parking lot was being demolished. When we came back in February of this year the construction had started, but was mostly an exercise in dirt moving. Now the walls are starting to get in pplace on the two new towers being built.
