Day 104

Finally after 52 days in the hospital John is home.
John finally eating after 5 weeks without food

He was released on day 100 of his transplant.
The GVHD of his gut seems to be under control and he is able to eat a plain but good diet. All easy to digest food like chicken, rice, white bread. We see the nutritionist tomorrow and we may be able to up it a little. John lost a lot of weight during these last 7 weeks, went from being about 190 pounds to being 156 pounds. Not only that the chemotherapy has had kick back effect and John lost his hair again. John is still receiving the photoperesis treatment which is due tomorrow.

John resting at home, Go Steelers!


The healing is slow but sure, John is very weak and tired but we are just so happy he is home :)
Thank you so much for all your prayers :)
