Many thanks are in order to our good friend for a delicious lasagna delivered Thursday night and for visiting all day Friday with John. Her daughter, (also instrumental in the lasagna delivery) is currently enrolled in an A&P class and we had a lively discussion Thursday night about SIADH - a complication John is currently experiencing and which is hopefully on its way to resolution.
Friday night Michael and Meredith arrived from Boston for a long weekend. They are helping with a bunch of chores from getting snow tires on the truck to a mystery project involving the "Ninja" - a nifty chopping device recently acquired to help quench John's craving for shaved ice when the mucositis was really bad. It's very effective and very sharp (don't ask how I know...) in case you're considering one.
John is embarked on his own to-do list which includes trying to eat and walk a little bit more. He started with half a waffle this morning. Later today I'd like to take him for a short tour of the front yard where our good friend, Efrain, has been chopping down and mulching part of the hedgerow wilderness. He has also planted more blackberries as well as red and yellow raspberries and seedless concord grapes. So, you all know where to visit next summer when the fruit will be in season and the jam-making will be in full swing.
John's temps go up and down but haven't hit the magic 100.4 mark which landed him in the hospital late last Monday night. We are hoping to keep it that way with all of your positive thoughts, prayers, good wishes - and lots of hand washing.
