The battle versus GVHD continues! Mid-week Suzie's feet turned very red and swelled so much that she had/has blisters on her toes and on the bottoms of her feet. It is difficult for her to walk, at the moment, and impossible for her to put shoes on her feet. We are thankful, thus far, the disease is attacking her joints and is not attacking her organs.

There is a chance that the increased white blood and platelet counts, plus the swelling in her lymph node, are indications that Suzie is also battling the remnants of the cancer. We are hopeful of getting a better fix on this with the biopsy scheduled for this week and while in Houston on the 14th.

A visit over the weekend from Dave, Kelly and the grandkids lifted both our spirits because Chris, Jon and Ali openly express their concerns and love for her. This says a lot about their home life, their dispositions and the parenting they receive. We are proud of all three, especially Chris who is almost a teenager but does not behave like the ones most parents fear.

God Bless!
