So we had a dr. appt on Thursday. They think Mike has CMV of the gut - not GVHD (graft v. Host). If it was GVH then it would have improved w/ the increase in prednisone but it didn't. He's going for a colonoscopy on Thursday, a PET scan and a bone marrow biopsy on Tuesday. Sunday is his 6 month mark. With the increase in prednisone comes blurry vision and general overall puffiness so he's uncomfortable in his own skin. They are tapering him off his blood pressure meds and tinkering with a couple different things. We have another appointment on Tuesday to see the doctor. CMV has a bunch of negative stuff that could happen - coma, liver failure, pneumonia, etc.
On to other news - I'd like to say better but it's not. I talked to Mason's mom on Sunday about his graduation from high school. Since I manage to upset her with every phone call and since she refuses to speak to me about Mason's airline tickets to see his dad Mason has informed me that he will not be on the plane on Sunday. His Spring Break is next week and I bought the ticket out of Richmond, like she demanded I do, at 4 pm and because it's Easter she will not take him to the airport. Then I asked Mason why Sunday was any different since he was an agnostic and he said that his mom celebrated Easter and I wasn't feeling very nice so I asked why she celebrated the rising of her archenemy since she was the AntiChrist. I know - not very nice. God made one miracle happen this Sunday so maybe He will make another one happen. Or another $350 down the drain wasted on an airline ticket that Mason won't use.
Bri is back from San Diego. She had a blast down there. She is getting excited for the summer. She will volunteer to be a camp counselor for Vacation Bible School and my family reunion is in July. Depending on what is going on with Mike's health we may take a mini vaca when he's healthy enough to travel. She has to wear a dress for her continuation party (being promoted to high school.) We will be dress shopping next week. My baby is being promoted to high school. I'm getting very old.
Dakota is good. He was professionally groomed last week and looks like a different dog - you can see him now. We no longer have the cat for those of you who knew the cat. He is somewhere where I can't kill him for peeing in my clean clothes. Nothing new and exciting in my world. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
