Just a very quick update not a literary gem. Sharon had the scope as planned on Wednesday afternoon. Everything went well. The results are back and she has mild GVH. This is what Dr. Stein expected and he had already begun to treat it. She is on Prednisone and another steroid which we hope will clear up the problem.
She had the bone marrow biopsy today around noon and we will know the results of that on Monday night or Tuesday morning. Dr. Stein was encouraged however after doing the biopsy that things were going along well and wasn't willing to even talk about what-ifs.
Mom has more energy although she still has a lot of discomfort, but like the trooper she is we still get in our two walks a day.
Thanks for all your prayers. We continue to "MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH."

Thanks for the update Dad. THis seems like really good news to me. Hopefully, the indication of Graft vs. Host means that (1) Uncle Dick's cell are doing their work of taking over the system, and (2) that there is some Graft vs. Leukemia also taking place. We will, of course know more when the bone marrow biopsy comes back - but it makes me very hopeful. Looking forward to penning in a new release date.
I thought I'd quickly check the blog just to see if maybe there was any new news. Thank you so much dad for being on top of the posting! It helps so much to know whats going on when I feel so far away! I'm happy to hear things look ok and that the dr is so positive. We will pray pray pray for good news on mon/tues!
