Day 98

John and Amanda- First walk outside in 7 weeks

 FINALLY SOME PROGRESS!

7 weeks now since John was admitted into Brigham and Woman's Hospital. During these weeks there have been so many questions, worries, concerns, tears and confusion. 


We have faced many set backs, many weeks of one step forward and two steps back.


This past week has been filled with hope that has not disappointed. They started a new treatment last week and John has been taking steps forward ever since; today he had cream of wheat, English muffin and Noodle soup! 

Ian (Brother) and Beth (Sister in Law) with John

4 weeks and no solid food till now! Let's just say he enjoyed it!


He seems to be making a good recovery from an acute severe case of Graft Versus Host of the gut. He is on many medications which he will be weened off slowly; the hope is that it WILL NOT return! We are praying so hard that this bump in the road would be our last! 


We, as do our doctors, family and friends, still believe God is going to fully heal John! 


Doctor said he could be home as early as Friday! 
Keep you posted...
