The weekend: Month #8 begins...

Our goals have been adjusted again. Ron's next appointment in the GVHD Clinic is April 10, and we hope to be able to go home after it. That would give him 3 weeks of physical therapy here in Ann Arbor. Both Niccole and Matt will be in Michigan at that time, and at the least, I hope we will be able to go home April 10-15. If he makes good progress, maybe we will be able to move home. With the springlike weather, we are even more anxious to be at the lake.
We are very much enjoying the NCAA basketball tournament. The Big Ten has made us proud so far. We have 3 entries in pools, so that makes it fun to follow too.
Tomorrow morning we have a 9:00 appointment in the Palliative Clinic; they will give us some coping and management skills for this long term recovery. The first appointment with the physical therapist Friday was excellent. Besides working with and evaluating Ron, she raised his walker handles two notches which makes a huge difference in balance and weight-bearing.
Two years ago we were in Florida, and Ron was quite sick, but he didn't have his leukemia diagnosis until March 30; he was transferred to U of M Hospital by ambulance April 1st...so much has happened since then.
