Given some freedom!

Eveerything continues to improve! We saw Dr. Horwitz yesterday at the clinic and overall he is very pleased with Peter's progress. His counts are up and headed to where they should be. Unfortunately his blood sugar numbers are up and that may be why he continues to lose some weight. Started checking numbers more carefully today and adjusting insulin as needed. Hopefully that combined with his improved eating and the additions of weights to his exercise program will start putting some weight on him.

They pulled his Hickman out - yes, they actually grab it and pull it out of his chest - yesterday, so now we only go to Duke every other week. And, we don't need to see the dr. here in Wilmington for bloodwork, so that leave alot more time for Peter to work.

We are both a bit befuddled now. Technically we have lived here since Dec. of'06 but between hospitalizations and 10 days in Italy last June, it's really only been about 6 months. We packed and unpacked and reorganized a zillion times and as a result can find almost nothing! I think we need to start a list of what we are looking for and maybe a list of what we have found. Someday we will get it all straight - not anytime soon but someday!

What a great update, Wendy. Good luck getting reorganized (again)!
