Moving Ahead...

Esther/GG update: she is now in a beautiful rehab facility in Jackson, Michigan and still feisty. When she has recovered from her hospitalization --regaining strength-- she will be living in an assisted living setting that has additional self care services available. Her previous assisted living apartment is not a safe choice for her any more, and she now needs more services than that setting offers. Not easy.

Ron is having his two ECP treatments at Mott Hospital in AA. In fact, he is almost done with the second one as I am blogging. We stayed at our regular Hampton last night. Ryan, the desk manager, told me that he sees us more than his own family! They make us feel at home.

Ron's bloodtests remain to be good. This week he switched to heparin based fluid for the ECP treatments because his platelets have been over 100 for 3 months. This is another step forward. 122 this week, and 140 starts the normal range. We saw Tim, his PA. We are cruisin' along. The season of family being at Gilead Lake is beginning. That is a special time of the year for us. Hopefully, we will be able to travel and visit them this fall and winter. Ron did some mowing on the rider this week and played golf. It isn't the golf of years past, but it is good therapy for him. George told me that the cursing at bad shots is about like it used to be.

Love from Ron & Jan to you!!
