With a little help from a shot of nupregen Sharon's white count shot up to 4.6 and continues to hold above 4. This opens up a whole new world, not only are we able to leave the room but we are able to go off the floor and even briefly outside. Wow, does she love that. We had two nice walks yesterday and one already today. The Doctor keeps saying walk and eat. We were pleased to have a visit from the Dick and Barbara Summerhays family on Monday. I think they all wanted to see what Dick looked like in Sharon's body. Surprise, surprise there's still no mistaking a Summerhays. The Doctor tells us that if progress continues we will be able to be released from the hospital by the end of next week. We will be staying at a nearby Residence Inn for some period of time before being released to return home. We need to be within a few minutes of the hospital so that any issues can be addressed immediately. Next week we will spend time being educated by a host of people on life after transplant. We have a nurse coach and also will meet with dietitians, therapists and others. Sounds as though our days will be filled.
On another note I am pleased to report that Ricky is back home after two weeks in the hospital. It appears his problems are resolved and he is back to his old self again. Now that's scary isn't it.
All in all things are on the upswing and we continue to "MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH!"

I have to say that it is great to leave the room with mom. Although we almost killed ourselves when the IV pole took a dive! Walkers BEWARE!!! We all can't wait until you two get sprung from the joint!
GREAT news. It's good to see Flat Stanley back in action. Sending all our love...
