Good News

Well he does not have the graft vs host disease in his eyes. The eye doctor said it could be the early signs, but the disease cannot be seen in his eyes yet. That is a relief! He did say that there was something irritating them though. He has had some congestion and was coughing some last night. No fever though. I gave him some medicine last night for that. He has never had his eyes checked so he got the full run yesterday. He has 20/20 vision and no signs of any of those eye diseases that I cannot spell. He just needs reading glasses and he uses those already. We went to see Ruth Thursday and she was in a very talkative mood. Micheal was there and had brought her flowers, we brought her roses and Karen brought flowers too. So her room was very cheerful on her birthday. We went to the lounge area where there was a piano. When John sees a piano he can't help but play it. He played her a song and then played "Happy Birthday" to her. She really seemed to enjoy it! Karen said that the nurses that heard it want him to come back and play again. Micheal and John really made her laugh, but we won't talk about that subject. When those two get together, watch out! I will keep you posted, hopefully on all good news, when we go back to the BMT unit. That is not until Feb. 13th, we see the neurologists on Feb 12th to talk about the numbness still in certain places on his arms and his toes. Thanks for hanging in there! God bless you and we love you all! Alyce
