We have returned home after two days in Ann Arbor where Ron had bloodtests and two ECP treatments. That will be our routine every other week for four more months. Yeah!!---no more lovenox belly shots..my least favorite nurse duty the past seven MONTHS! Also, Ron will not have any more monthly steroid infusions. He does continue to have prednisone daily: 10mg. They plan to lower this dosage after another month. His symptoms of graft versus host disease are being controlled with the current treatment. His weight is holding steady in the 170s, and he requires very little insulin to control his blood sugar. They also expect the insulin to be totally phased out. His new bone marrow continues to improve in function. White blood cells and hemoglobin are in a normal range, and platelets continue to inch up closer to a normal level.
We are looking forward to summer lake activities and visits from family. Life is good.

It will seem like summer when you get here! I hope Cole is ready to solve puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. :-)
