Ron was able to come home Friday, July 29, after 24 days of hospitalization at the University of Michigan Medical Center. This regimen of chemo was called MEC, and he continues to recover from its effects. He will have blood tests 3 times a week while home. We will make return day trips to Ann Arbor twice during our 2 1/2 weeks at home; those days will be filled with tests and information gathering for the blood marrow transplant. Ron's primary doctor at U of M will change from his oncologist to his transplant specialist.
Our family has done a fantastic job of maintaining the yard, gardens, beach area, and the lake house. We enjoyed going out on the pontoon yesterday and seeing how much everything had grown during this hot summer weather. It felt great just going grocery shopping this morning and reading the Sunday paper. All of the kids and their families will be visiting during this time we are home. (but not all at the same time:} Our kitty, Blue, is being very clingy, and my sister has agreed to be his sitter during the time we are gone starting in August.
We have felt the presence of everyone's support. It means a great deal to both of us.
A most sincere thanks, Ron & Jan
