Day +76

Oct. 24/07 Larry's doing very good, and I keep him close by my side. We'll be going down to Columbus tomorrow around 10:00am. We had a very nice weekend with all the Kids and grand kids. They are getting so big so fast. We hope that we can go down to there house soon to stay a few days. This part is the hardest on us not being around the grandchildren Larry's like a different person when the grandchildren are around. He has more energy when they're around. Mason takes his pawpaw outside to play 123 ready set go this is his favorite game with his pawpaw.

Day +70

Oct. 18/07 I am recovering . I feel like it should be going faster. But I'm thankful at my progress. I had a flue last week. I am so thankful it was a very mild type or I would be in a lot of trouble. The flue has set me back some. They told me at Columbus today that my stem cells are 100% donor and that the worst of the flue is over. I did not run a temperature, or get sick at my stomach but got a very sore throat and Julie did not get it. I am no longer contagious. This is day 70 in 20 days they will take another biopsy and see what the disease is doing . I have been released from all of my restrictions except dietary and some rules about being around small children. I am hopeful for the very best. So that means I can not spend the night in Madison Indiana. But they are allowed to come and see me up here.

Oct. 16/07 Larry's cold is getting better every day, so maybe we can go down to see the grandbabys this weekend. Will see what the doctor says on Thursday.

Day +63

Oct 11/07 Larry went down to Columbus to see the doctor today. All the tests they took on Monday came back normal, so it was just a sore throat and a bad cold. The doctor said that it'll take him longer to get over a cold at this stage. Everything is looking good, but his white blood cells are up a little high. They think it's because of the cold. Larry wont see the doctor for three weeks now, but he'll see the nurse practitioner once a week.
