Good day, not too much to report.  JT is sleeping a lot:  12 hours last night plus a two-hour plus nap this afternoon.  Despite this horizontal time he’s wiped out by 8:15ish.  But since we’re up about 5 times each night it’s not uninterrupted rest.  We’ve always been told that sleep in imperative for healing and for good immune function, so I’m glad.

Otherwise, pretty uneventful.  We watched some shows, read some books, drove out to the park where we saw two horses.  He’s excited about Jodi and Justy’s arrival tomorrow or Tuesday.  He wants to take them out in the golf cart.  I told him that could probably be arranged.

JT had his usual bout of violent heaving this morning, but that was it.  That’s definite evidence of an upswing and cause for thanksgiving.  Please pray that this continues until he’s experienced a complete healing.

A nurse comes tomorrow morning to draw labs.  Please pray for good numbers, especially for his platelets and hemoglobin to be on the rise while his calcium continues to be lower.  As always, please remember to pray for protection from any illness or GVHD and for a strong, enduring engraftment.  We can’t wait for more of the Big Life we envision for him.
