Here it is Thursday... Two day since my last report. Jody and I had a lot of things to catch up after returning from the hospital. All is well!
On Tuesday, Jody and I took Papa Joe out to get his hearing aid fixed (He broke it pretty good this time, I was unable to fix it and we needed a part), afterwards we went to "Chick-fil-a" (my favorite chicken sandwich) for lunch. He loved it, a day out with "The Little-One" (Papa Joe's name for Jody) and something different. (It beats a cheese sandwich at the nursing home for lunch.) Wednesday, I caught up on the bills and finished my on going battle with the insurance companies. I also caught up on my record keeping. Jody is on twenty-eight different drugs, most of them have to be taken two times a day (some of them three times), some with food and some without. In addition, Jody receives an infusion of (one-litre) fluids with magnesium and potassium through an IV in her chest to keep her electrolytes in balance. These drugs change sometimes once a week and I maintain a record of what changes and when to be sure we stay on track.
This brings us to today. Jody is going into the clinic for her bi-weekly check-up and then it is back to the hospital for our one-hundred day bone marrow biopsy. The doctors are not expecting any change, just continued improvement of the graft. This will be the last biopsy for awhile. The next one is typically at the one-hundred-eighty day mark.

Day Plus Ninety-Six
Good morning everyone in the world of blog...
Today is Monday, November one...THAT'S RIGHT one more day of political C_ _ P (fill in the blanks, hope everyone feels the same way I do... tired of it).
Jody and I are hopeful she will be allowed to come home. When I went to bed last night she told me she felt pretty good. During the night (usually around midnight) they do a complete blood chemistry, so we are hopeful all the numbers will come back good. I am waiting at home for Jody to call. So I will get off the computer and report in as soon as I get the facts. Love to everyone!
I am at the hospital with Jody. The doctors are making their rounds and have not been in to see Jody. We remain hopeful. I will let you know what's happening.
Jody has been released... We are waiting for the orders and then we will be on the road. She looks great and feels a lot better. I will write more tomorrow, unless things change
