We visited M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston on Thursday August 14^th. We learned, if we are interpreting the data we have correctly, that the donor comprised 61% of total DNA in April 2008 versus 97% in November 2007. We are hopeful that this trend has now reversed but will not have the current picture for a few weeks. We will keep you posted! On the other front, Suzie’s WBC and Platelets are on the rise. This is, in part, due to the change in medications used to fight the GVHD which is now affecting Suzie’s skin, joints and vision. The plan now is to continue visiting our local Oncologist every other week and to return to M D Anderson in February 2009.

In the next few weeks we will host Dave and his extended family for the Labor Day weekend, visit with good friends on Martha's Vineyard with Lisa in her new digs in Boston. Lobster anyone? :-)
