We are still waiting to hear about the rash that he has to see whether or not it is graft versus host disease. It has spread to his chest, arms and legs and if it is GVHD they will start him on steroids tomorrow.
The eating is still not going as good as it should - every day he tries and his body has other plans. This frustrates Dad a lot but he is trying to take one day at a time.
Mom is feeling better but will be staying at the hotel again tomorrow to make sure she is fully healed before visiting Dad again.
It would be wonderful for Mom and Dad to be able to go home this week but it's not looking like that is going to happen. This coming Sunday (the 15th) is their 35th wedding anniversary and it would have been so nice for them to celebrate at home. How thankful we are however that Dad is doing so much better and that they are able to reach this milestone!
Please note that just like at the hospital Mom and Dad will not be able to have real plants or flowers at home. Good thing Mom prefers fake plants!

Ed and Flo it for sure takes patience having to stay in the hospital while all you want to do is go home ! I guess they know what is best. We continue to pray for your healing Ed ....and Flo we hope you can be with your hubby soon!
