Good News!

Dr. Vaughan told us yesterday that the liver biopsy came back that the GVHD is NOT in the liver now. It had been there and has done damage that will hopefully heal itself in time. That was GREAT news, according to Dr. V!!! He got the temporary port yesterday and they will start the photopheresis on Wednesday and Friday, but on Tuesday he will get his permanent port and it has to heal for 2 to 3 weeks before they can use it. So he won't be on any job sites this week! We have to get the hang of this new schedule and see how often they are going to do this and then we can hopefully plan what days are good for working. He had to have 2 fresh frozen plasma bags again before he got the procedure done yesterday and his blood sugar is much better! They started a taper of the steroids yesterday also, so that is MORE good news. They have made him really weak!!!! This time he wants to come off them as soon as possible, last time he did not! We are taking it easy today! This is the first weekend I have had to be able to relax and get some things done around the house. Last Sat. I had to bring him home from the hospital and it took all day it seemed! God has given us this beautiful day and I think we will enjoy it! Hugs and kisses to you all! God Bless You! Love you all!
