The coin has been tossed

and Trish won. We are in the Hackerman=Platz house tonight. It was a long day of packing and carrying stuff for me. It was a happy day for Trish... To celebrate we went out for dinner tonight -- Outback and Trish ordered her favorite Outback thing -- the Chicken with Artichoke Hearts and Steamed Veggies.....It was like she had never seen food before (and if you have seen the Johns Hopkins food, you know she hasn't in about 34 days) -- now here is the best part..... She ate most of the meal, took home less than half of it for tomorrow and kept it down, right after she ate it, on the drive home and beyond.

This is the first full meal she has kept down since the July 4th start of the transplant and in and of itself is a major milestone. Maybe all she needed was to be out of her room. Her first IPOP appointment is tomorrow at 9am and she will have daily IPOP appointments for at least a week, but she is doing so well.

Her legs still ache, but she says it is not as bad as it was. She is mnore tired and fatigued than anything else at the moment.

We are both tired and I need to get some sleep. Goodnight.
