The other three members of my family rolled into Grove City this afternoon. Everybody’s home tonight. Pretty sweet.
JT tells me, “my new belly friend is tender” and he is taking it easy. I was a little surprised how big the tube is that comes right out of his stomach. The doctor told Jodi that it looks to be healing even better than she would have expected. JT seems very protective of it and that’s probably a good thing.
He looks different. It’s great to see him without that NG tube taped to his face. At the same time, the steroids are making his face swell up again and it’s always hard to see him not quite looking like himself.
His skin remains troubling, the GVHD still very much present. However, the initial read on yesterday’s full-body CAT scan was that everything looked clear. So there’s much to be thankful for tonight.
We’re looking forward to resting and enjoying each other this weekend. Please pray that we all stay healthy (I’m feeling like I could be on the verge of a cold and Jodi is totally exhausted after her stay in the hospital and all the driving.) It promises to be a good couple of days. As always, thank you for remembering to check in on us. |
