While she hasn't seen Dr. Hogan yet, she's been told that he is encouraged by the results of her 100 day evaluation. She has a couple of more tests scheduled for this week. She is also scheduled to have her Hickman catheter removed on Wednesday. This is a good sign!
They did find some GVHD when they performed the endoscopy. In order to treat the GVHD, she is on a new medication.
She has been able to discontinue some of her other medications.
She has not had any nausea and her appetite has returned.
While she tires easily, she said she does feel like going out some now and doing a few things. She and Bob were meeting some friends from the GOL House for lunch today. The other day, she even assisted one of the other caregivers in making some oyster stew.
A group of Mennonites came by to give Sharon and Bob a box of cookies. Sharon has really enjoyed these. She even broke house rules by keeping them in her room.
This group has periodically been to the house and sang to the patients and caregivers. Sharon said they even visited and sang to her while she was in the hospital.
Bob has begun packing in anticipation of being released. Sharon said he thinks they will be out of there by Friday. Again, we are keeping our fingers crossed.
