GOOD NEWS!

The doctor was quite positive today, he told us that Lee is doing quite well, pneumonia has cleared up and he is a little better every day. He said that next week he will probably turn us over to the transplant team in the clinic, rather than continue as a hospital outpatient. They have also remarked that because we live near such a good medical center, we could go home a little early and be monitored by our hematologist.

Eating is still coming very slowly, I am trying to think of creative ways to encourage him to eat.
That is the hardest challenge right now! Our spirits are good, and a good sign of recovery, Lee went to his first public place since transplant, the grocery store! He walked with me, and later sat and waited while I checked out. This is progress.

My husband is such a gentleman, even though he is weak and tired, he insists on letting me walk through doorways first, and if he could, he would open all the doors for me, but I won't let him touch any public thing, (germs!) it is hard for him to let me take care of him, he so wants to take care of me!
