We will be off to Ann Arbor by 8:00 tomorrow. This is the second of four infusions to help Ron fight the graft versus host disease that affects his skin and possibly his lungs. His skin did flare up gradually during the week, so he is back on steroids. Overall, he continues to progress, and the PT who did his first evaluation re-evaluated him this week. She was pleased with his progress...especially in his legs. He is now focusing on balance, biceps, and walking.
Matt's family is here now at their cottage. (third generation cottage.) It continues to be fun having grandchildren in the house, and Cole will be back in a week too. Niccole continues to cook for us and help with the housework and yard work. I have even read a book! It is still very hard for me to feel truly relaxed, but being able to read a book shows progress. I see many things to do inside and out, but what has been accomplished during a month at home is good. (Niccole even cleaned and organized my garden shed. She has put an impressive amount of trash on the curb each Monday.)
I think our 4th of July might be scaled back a little. How wonderful to be home for a get together with part of our family! Visits with the kids' families has been spread out which makes it better in some ways although it is fun seeing everyone together too.
Have a wonderful holiday!
Love, Ron & Jan
