Friday October 16, 2009,

Who would believe October is already half over.  Where does the time go?  When you are in the hospital you totally loose track of time. 
Today was a busy day.  Blood draw at 7:30 a.m.  Dr. visit 8:30, bone morrow test 9:00,  That all lasted until 11 so we went off to lunch.  Ralph ate most of 1/2 a roll up (meat and cheese only) I on the other hand ate a whole one with the shell.  Then it was up to photoparisis to get his white blood cells exposed to ultra violet light.  This is part of the clinical trials to see if it slows down or stops GVHD from happening.  This process runs for 3 hours so it was almost 4:30 before we got out of there.  (traffic back was horrible)
 
This was Ralph's 30 day checkup we will know the results of the tests on Tuesday when we go again.  They have a PET scan set up for him on the 30th so when we get the results from that we will know how well this transplant has gone. 
 
Ralph continues to sleep often but he is no longer (as Sue said) goofy.
We miss all of you. 
Please continue your prayers.  God has been so faithful and has meet or exceeded our needs.  He is so merciful.
