Dave is doing as well as can be expected for what he has endured these past 8 months and especially the past few weeks. He sort of thought that once he was past the stem cell transplant hurdle, the rest would be a walk in the park, but it hasn't been a nicely paved road. The rash has still got the better of him and they were supposed to go to Dana Farber today for a check-up and hopefully some relief from this itchy thing. He is very tired and weak and cold and thin. It is going to take him a while to get to a 'more happy than not' place. But being home will move that process along a little quicker than being in the hospital. He is very susceptible to germs and needs to wear a mask and gloves when he has to go out. His little bald head was chilly, so Kathy bought him a nylon stocking cap that football players wear under their helmets. It sounds like the very latest fashion in mens headwear!! giggle. But it keeps him warm.
I'm sure that I don't have to tell you why you keep a happy thought for Kathy and Dave-you know.
Later,
Marilyn
