Progress!

Robert J is showing definite signs of improvement today! He enjoyed an early morning visit from Jeff and Sue, and has been busy with visiting doctors since then. One of his long-time prescription dosages from before the transplant was cut in half, so maybe that made a difference or he was improving anyway? Hard to say, but we're happy to see him more bright-eyed and alert. He took a lap around the floor this morning, and only stopped at one lap because he had an entourage of docs waiting at his door to see him.

On the annoying side of things is his return to Cripple Creek - as in springing a leak. The most recent leak is really going strong, and there is talk of applying another wound vac dressing on that one too. He's also needing to increase his fluid intake to counteract all the fluid leaving his body - there seems no danger of fluid retention at this point in his recovery!

Finally, we want to acknowledge all our friends and family who are also dealing with major health issues, some short term and some long term, and even the loss of dear family members. We do think of all of them often, even though the blog is "all about us".....we know we are not the only ones with challenges. So forgive us for being so self-absorbed, but we have not forgotten the rest of you and are hopeful for everyone to return to good health sooner or later.
