Sharon and Bob had a big Thanksgiving lunch. There were many volunteers that prepared and served the residents at GOL.

Sharon said she felt really good today. It has been four or five days since she has required a red blood transfusion. She hasn't had to receive platelets in a while either.

She is having to see the doctors less and less. She's had four days of no doctors. She has an appointment at 6:40 a.m. tomorrow to have her blood tested. Theresa told Sharon the other day that she should be dancing on tables her counts were so good.

There was a brief worry that Sharon may be getting the graft vs. host disease again. Fortunately, what Sharon was seeing was her body's reaction to a lack of platelets. She said it created what appeared to be small blood blisters on her body. The graft vs. host disease rash she had before looked similar in appearance. A platelet transfusion cleared this up.

She is getting stronger each day. She does not have to use the walker or wheelchair any longer. She does get short of breath on occasion. When this happens, she rests until she feels she can continue. Her appetite and taste for food is continuing to improve as well.

Sharon said it is very cold and felt like it was going to snow.

She and Bob hope to find out soon when they will be released to Dr. Ballard's care here in Georgia. We all hope that it will be sooner than later. We miss you guys down here!
