We started experiencing a big turnaround this morning as Suzie started coming out of a stupor she has been in since getting home last Thursday. Long story short, the move to fight GVHD with prograf versus prednisone was the uderlying cause of her lethargyt. They started out by giving her too much prograf too soon which gave rise to many side effects, none of them good, and she exhibited most of them. Most worrisome was an increase in sugar with both the prednisone and the prograf acting as catalysts. I thought she was headed for another stay in the hospital but she's pulled out of it and will be home for Christmas. Less prograf going forward, for a while, and much hope for continued remission of the cancer.

Merry Christmas to all,

Mike
