GRAFT IS GOOD

The time we have been waiting for has at long last arrived. After being brought to deaths door Sharon is coming back to life again. It would appear that Dick's generously donated stem cells and marrow are graciously being accepted by Sharon's body and we have a successful graft. On Monday her white count was up to .6, on Tuesday .7 and today .8. We are only .2 away from being able to get out of jail and at least walk in the hall. She also feels a little better is day. Her throat is still sore but she is able to swallow Big Sticks, Popsicles, and Icees. Her diarrhea
is much better and her general health is improving. We have successfully completed our first book in the bla-sha book club, "Teacher Man." We would suggest it only if you have run out of things to read. We have started our new book, "Oracle Bones" and we'll keep you posted. We are also enjoying studying Preach My Gospel and reading the Book of Mormon. It's amazing what you can do when you are sitting around waiting to heal.
We are grateful for all your faith and prayers, it couldn't happen without you. Keep it up and we'll soon realize our next goal of being in remission.
We continue to "MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH."
