A quick update:
Mom is feeling better and is now back with Dad.
Dad has been hungry of late and he's been eating toast with jam, so far so good!
The rash Dad has is graft versus host disease and they are treating him for this. We've been told GVHD can come in many forms and also come and go. The rash may go away and then something else may come later in a different form. We're always learning new things!
The doctors have requested when visiting Mom and Dad that we do not hug, kiss or give them a handshake just in case of colds and other potential illnesses.
We haven't heard much more about going home, the rash will most likely need to go away first and Dad will have to have more continued success with eating.
All of us kids plan to visit on Sunday for their anniversary; I'm sure Mom and Dad are looking forward to having all their kids together!
That's all for now, thank you again for your cards and best wishes!

Hey Big Brother, way too long since we've spoke. Found some family members on facebook, and was directed to your blog by Brian de Haan. So you're not doing too well. That sucks. Well you better get better soon, 'cause I play the guitar and I remember you played a wicked bongo, back in the day...and we need to have a jam session. That would be great...Maybe we can make some really good noise and Mom will hear us play. She loved you so much Eddy. Every week you would go with her for lunch...I know she told me that...I am so happy she had children like you...love you very much and please, please be strong.
Love eternally

Dear Ed & Flo: We are watching and praying for your progress. We've lost touch, but you are in our hearts. 35 years! You married 6 yrs ahead of us; I forgot it was that much. Like Loot, I remember your bongo playing. Have a wonderful day with your great kids.
