Wow, where has the time gone? Ralph has wanted to write but is always sleeping. So, here is the update. We are in our little house in Jackson. (1000 E. Porter)
The Nuns are very sweet and interesting. We do not see them a lot but the three of them came over to introduce themselves. God has been so good to us through out this whole thing meeting our needs one after another. The house is a flat roofed limestone to match the other buildings on the property. The Father use to live here but is no longer on campus. The house has all new carpet and floors. What looks like new cabinets in the kitchen . It is very clean and cute and just what we needed.
Ralph went back to the Dr. on Friday for blood work and check up. Dr. Levine was very pleased with the progress. They adjusted some of his meds. and made an appointment for Monday for more blood work to check on his levels to see if his meds need more adjustments or if they are correct. The Dr. said that we need to keep a watch for graft vs. host as now and for the next while is when it is most likely to hit. The study that Ralph is in is to see if by giving the meds. that are used for GVHD before it happens will keep it from happening at all, or make the use of steroids less needed if it does happen. Ralph will get his first irradiated blood treatment on the 16th. His blood will go through a machine be radiated and then put back in him. Kind of like dialysis.
We miss seeing all of you and are praying that you are well.
