Things Delayed A Bit

We went to the doctor today and they did the blood work on him and everything looks good, his counts that is. His throat has been sore and has had some stuffiness so he stayed at home Monday and Tuesday. We were thinking he was trying to come down with something so they swabbed his throat and tested him for strep, but nothing came back postitive thank goodness. Dr. Vaughan did not let him come off any more suppression meds though. He still has some funny stuff in the back of his throat. Like a rash, they think it still might be signs of the graft VS host disease but are not really sure so he thought it was best that he stay on the dosage he is on now. Only 50 mgs every other day. But Terry learned that they are treating arthuritis(?) with immune suppression meds, so he thinks that is why he has not had any arthuritis pain in a long time. He has lost about 4 pounds, fluid, from what we can tell. His feet are not swelling like they were and not hurting like they were either. That is a good sign! Overall he is feeling pretty good! A year ago today we were living day to day wondering what was next. He was in Carraway Hospital this time last year getting his first rounds of chemo and all of you were such a great support group! Thanks for hanging around a year later! We love you all! Alyce
