Day +19

Happy Father's day to all you Fathers out there.Hope you had a lovely day with those you love and with those who love you. Especially happy Father's day to Frank Sr., Frank Jr., and Ryan. Frank , Katherine and Ryan went to the Capital Grill in Indianapolis for breakfast and Katherine had a cook out for them both this evening.Thank you Katherine. Frank Jr. and Karen and Liam and Sophie went the museum in Boston and later went to see Karen's Dad for dinner. We missed being with you, but were with you in spirit.

This has been a very good day for Bill. He seems to be regaining his strength nicely. He did not need blood or platelets today, just the usual magnesium and fluids. We were home by 2.00p.m. so had a nice long afternoon to enjoy our apartment. His appetite has really returned and enjoyed baked salmon and roasted veg. tonight.He will be soon putting on those pounds he lost in the hospital

Tess left this morning and returns again next week end. Frank also plans to come next weekend for 10 days. It will be good to see them both.

Thank you all again for your prayers. The days 20-30 are the most dangerous for host versus graft disease. Please continue to keep Bill in your prayers.
