Day 90

John is still in Brigham and Women's hospital in Boston.
6 weeks now...
John has been making some recovery; an infection set him back a little and the Graft Versus Host Disease is being slow to heal despite the steroids which should aid his body is recovering. John is no longer having fevers or vomiting but his gut is still very damaged and in need of repair.
Doctors are trying a new treatment this week called Photopheresis.
These last 6 weeks have been filled with ups and downs and what keeps us going is knowing that the transplant has grafted and this current episode should be temporary.

God is indeed our strength.
John and I have grown closer to God in this time; we have taken all our worries, concerns, and pain to God. His shoulders can carry the burdens that weigh us. He can break through even our deepest fears.
We remain hopeful...
