Weekend: January 15, 2012

We've had a few inches of snow, breezy during the storm, and cold temps, so it looks and feels like January. Cale, Jess, and the kids visited yesterday, so we went sledding on the hills directly behind our apartment building. So much fun to see them enjoy the activity outside, and sledding conditions were good.
Ron is grinding, but we look back at times and think about the situations we have made it through and are so grateful that his recovery has become more settled. He does his exercises every other day..as the physical therapist had instructed him during her sessions. It will be nice when we can walk outside again.
We continue with precautions regarding Ron's low immunity. I have used more chlorox wipes and chlorox any hard surface spray in the past months than the rest of my life. He continues to wear a mask when out in the public, and has some restrictions on what he can eat. We cannot eat in restaurants yet. His weight is staying around 153 now. Because he had graft versus host disease of the gut, his digestion, absorption of food, and digestive comfort continue to be an issue at times. His GVHD of the skin will also remain an issue at times, but all of this is manageable.
