March 19, 2007 - Trucking on.......Recently a friend asked, "Why have you not updated your blog?" Before thinking I responded, "because the last three months have been ----!"
I am exhausted after working all day, tending to family responsibilities, and yielding to health needs. So there. Instead of a marathon or a roller coaster the "recovery process" is what hauling a truck up a hill must be like.
My body is entering the fourth month of Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD). Steroids and other oral drugs appear to be working as the measles like bumps abate. Every time I become discouraged mentally a phone call or mail from family or friends interupts the piety party. Call it divine intervention or osmosis. Some how some one brings cheer. Your wonderful love and support makes the truck move on like the Little Engine That Could. Thank you so much.
Above the two good looking men are Sergio and Jack. True our daughter had a lot to do with Jacks creation and maintenance, yet he looks like his dad. His second birthday was 2/10/07 and I had fun helping.
April 9 - Within minutes of writing the above update on March 19 food poisoning arrived with vengence four hours after lunch at a fancy resturant NO further words necessary. Five days later because Susan,Carol and I had accepted a friend's invitation to her lovely home in Vail months ago, we did just that. The Colorado Rocky Mountain high really works. Pictures will be posted on the next update. I have promised our family that I will update at least once a month so that you all will know what is going on. June 14 marks my one year transplant anniversary. Onward.......

I was really happy to see your update; however, considering the trials and tribulations of your last several months, I understand why updating your blog was not at the top of your priority list. Even little "engines that could" are entitled to time out from consideration of others' needs to the sometimes essential consideration of "self's" needs.
Take care!
