Happy Father's Day

This year is SOOOOO much better than the last year on this day! He was in such a state of mind and did not really care what day it was, I think he slept most of it. But this year we went to church and out to eat afterwards and spent most of the afternoon with our children! You don't appreciate time until you think you won't have it anymore! We went to the doctor and not much to report except they drew a pint of blood off of him, he had too much iron and that makes him feel bad! Deposits of iron get into his organs, liver for instance and makes them go crazy! So they pulled some of the blood off. All of the blood transfusions he had is what caused this, 17 of them! This will have to be done periodically. He has definitely come off the steroid high he was on! He is feeling like he used to somewhat. Not bad, just not as good as when you are on steroids! He goes to the eye doctor tomorrow to see if he still has the GVHD in his eyes, only this doctor can tell. He goes to the pulmonary doctor Thursday to see what was going on in his lungs and see if he still needs to have home oxygen. Sometimes when he excerts himself he has to use it to get his breathing under control. We hope all you Dads out there had a GREAT Father's Day and we love all of you for hangin' in here with us! Hugs and Kisses! Alyce
