Day +71

Moving closer to Day +100. This week, however, hasn't been a very good one. Bill picked up a wicked stomach virus last Sat. Actually it was about half time of the OU game. We told him that was what made him so sick. It has really knocked him backwards. His Dr. appt. was just OK. All his counts were down except his red blood cells were still up. They said the low counts go along with him being sick. He was doing so well, then this really has him down. They also took him off 20 more mg of the predisone(steroids) and now he is having withdrawal symtoms from this. It is making him really dizzy and tired feeling. His appetite isn't as good either, but this will pass. Predisone is such nasty stuff, but he had to take it to combat the graft VS host disease, which is much better. Hopefully, before long he can get off of it completely. Dr. also put him on coumadin because of the blood clot in his leg. Even though it doesn't hurt any more, it's still not dissolved. We're hoping and praying for a brighter week ahead. Please remember our family friend Dawn Henson's family in your prayers. Dawn lost her battle yesterday morning.
