Today is a far better day than the last update. My white counts are up again. That always helps every aspect of my health.
Now that the counts are up it appears that the two masses in my lungs are reducing. With all of there big guns of antibiotics and fungal treatments, the masses were not moving or reducing.
All of the 4 skin biopsies displayed GvHD. The large spots are softening and look under control.
My central line had to be removed with incredible pain. There was definitely abyss in the channel. They left the channel open and stuffed the channel used a rope type packing to allow the channel to heal from the inside out. It will be good to have that channel heal.
We are waiting to see what is happening with the lungs and also my physical strength to return home. There are challenges for going home. All bathing and sleeping facilities are upstairs. We will either need to rent equipment to stay downstairs or get strong enough to get upstairs. We’re working hard on getting upstairs with physical therapy.
Even though my faith wavered, The Lord was always present.

Art, again you have shown great strength in what GOD has done for you! As my sister's donor, I anxiously await hearing great news from her, also. She will receive the stem cells tomorrow (9/12/07). And yes -- being a donor has been an amazing blessing and I encourage anyone who is able to sign up. I'm "older", but still under 70 years, so was able to be a family donor for my sister. Your website has been an inspiration to my family! Thank you for sharing!
