Thought it might be worth a minute to bring everyone up-to-date on Suzie's condition:

* She has been home for one week now and she is growing stronger, slowly, every day.
* Whereas of our focus for the past 2 and 1/2 years has been on her cancer, we have treated her COPD in a secondary manner.
* We now realize that the COPD is as dangerous to her health and well being as the cancer is. This is especially true because she has no immune system and she cannot yet receive any innoculations to protect her.
* She is still weak and uses a walker to get around the house. Knowing her, this will not be the case by the end of the month.
* Going forward we will be as active as we can because she wants to live life and I support her in this. This is the hard one: if anyone we are planning to visit with is ill, please let us know because it will be best if we do not visit with you. Suzie is extremely susceptible to bacteria and viruses and any further damage to her lungs will not be a good for her.

God Bless all of you,

Mike
