Hi everyone this is Yvonne. Today is day 23 post transplant. Greg`s white counts are slowly on the rise along with his platelets the last few days.There have many 1 step forwards and a 1/2 step back.
Greg is still fighting nausea/ vomiting especially when trying to eat liquids or soft foods. Hopefully by tomorrow am they will take away the feeding through the central line. The swelling in the cheeks and throat is decreasing but the stomach and intestines must still be healing and causing the nausea.
His energy level will vary especially if he is nauseated, but he will do a couple of walks a day. Some days can be very frustrating. Greg wants this to be further along. He is trying to keep motivated and upbeat. The good news is he will be discharged sometime this week to the out patient clinic. We will be living in apartment 4 blocks away so we can walk as long he can navigate a small hill. This will be one step forward since he has been in the hospital 4 weeks as of tomorrow.
Greg or I will keep updates coming. I hope the weekend was good for everybody. Our youngest son Mikhael was home for the weekend. It is always nice to have him around.

Greg,
You have come a long way, baby. Sounds like slow, steady improvement. We went to Church in maui today, very similar to New Hope back home. Every one is so friendly here.
Love, Cathy
Greg, Cathy was told by the dr. that she had A.L.S. Hope they can do something. Love Dad and Alice
Glad to know you will be able to walk more often. Will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Keep your faith and strength will follow!! :-)
Greg,
We've been praying for you and for your recovery out here in the Claw'! You're not missing anything except a bunch of bad weather and long, very long, grass. This latest upate sounds good. We'll continue to pray for your recovery. Remember...God can do amazing things! You have a lot of people out here pulling for you! Take care Greg-
