The weekend and new thoughts and worries

Sorry to all of you who have been checking for a weekend update and wondering why there hasn't been one (till now). Rest assured that everything is ok. Yesterday (Sat) was a day off for us. We washed clothes in the morning and visited Aunt Mary for the rest of the day. It included stopping by the Havre de Grace Seafood Festival.

Trish looks a little like something from Star Wars (Dylan would be proud) when we are out in public....She has her mask and a hat, but often she will wear a light weight hooded jacket and put the hood on because she doesn't like hats....reminiscent of a Jedi Knight.

Trish is feeling pretty good. Tired, faigued but good. Her rash is a little redder today and we expect that the GvH team will want to start treating her with steroids tomorrow. She is not looking forward to that. Today, we did have an IPOP appointment and nothing of signifigance came of that. Trish blood counts are excellent, from that perspective she is practically normal. In fact I would say the recovery from the transplant is much easier than recovery from chemo -- of course with the one major exception of GvH. This is Trish's experience so far and not necessarily the same one for any other person.

Check in tomorrow late in the day and I am sure that I will have an update on the GvH situation. For those wondering about Andy, he is doing well. Chomping at the bit to drive again and he should make it in time for school. Talk to you all tomorrow (probably late in the day).
