We will be back home for Ron's one year anniversary of his bone marrow transplant. What a year it has been with the first hospitalization for the stem cell transplant itself, the following hospitalizations on 8th floor University Hospital for a variety of complications, and then the last two hospitalizations at the new bone marrow transplant in-patient unit on the 7th floor of the new Mott Hospital! The BMT Clinic for regular appointments is also on 7th floor.
We wonder what "weather surprises" autumn will bring to Michigan. Both spring and summer were so atypical. Regardless, just spending it at home this year will be appreciated at a higher level.
Ron continues his recovery from this bump in the road. A couple additions were made today to help rid him of his lung congestion. He also will receive an infusion to help treat the two same persistent viruses that surfaced again on Saturday in lab cultures. Infectious disease and our Doc Magenau believe the one is a false positive. The plan is to definitely go home Monday. I did all of our laundry this morning. The family lounge is huge, has a kitchen, 3 washing machines and 3 dryers. They even provide the laundry detergent!
Yes, kudos to the care-- medical, emotional,and logistical- received here at the University of Michigan Medical Center. They call it "The Michigan Difference".
(Regarding basket ball and football, we continue to be Spartan and Buckeye fans!!)
