October - November - December 2010

In October, Sharon and Bob took a trip to see Barb and Sonny in Texas. They also visited with their niece in Louisiana.

Sharon had appointments at the Mayo in November. On the way to Rochester, she and Bob stopped in Hannibal, MO which is the home of Mark Twain.

At her appointments, the doctors followed up on the graft vs. host disease. Showing signs of progress and begins to decrease her prednisone intake. While Sharon continues to monitor her glucose as she is coming off the prednisone, she has been able to reduce the number of insulin shots she requires. She is now down to one shot a day. Hopefully, when she is able to discontinue the prednisone altogether, her glucose levels will stabilize and she will no longer require the injections.

After the appointments, they went to visit Ron and Bunny in Lake Preston, South Dakota. They visited the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore.

December brought bouts of nausea, vomiting and dizziness. Her medical team at the Mayo changed a couple of her meds and put her back on compazine to help control these symptoms.

Sharon and Bob will head back to Rochester in February.

I've attached pictures of their latest adventures.
