Just a quick update that no one was expecting: Mike is at home in hospice care. The doctor said to us last week that we were between a rock and a hard place because the fungus infection was feeding off the steroids given for the GVHD so it was a no win situation. After finding brain matter on the optical nerve and the infection worsening in the sinus cavities Mike decided he was done trying to run a race with no finish line so he chose to come home to die with dignity. He came home today. He is on oxygen and lots of painkillers. The doctors give it a week before the fingus moves into his brain via his artery in his sinus cavity.
His mom and dad are coming this week. He is accepting visitors but please call first. We do not have a home # but I've taken the week off to be home. My cell is 719/502-0172. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
