John has been in the hospital a little over a month now with graft vs host disease and a cytomegalovirus infection. Today his test results show that the CMV has dropped to 118 so he can be discharged later this week. Still working out details about exactly when.
He will still need to be in Philadelphia 3 days/week for photopheresis for the gvhd and will need a med for the cmv, but this is great news and a really good start to 2013.
Time to get the burrow in order for his arrival. Just let us know if you would like to visit. The only precaution is that you have to be 100% healthy, no headache, cough, achy joints, infections, etc. This is a bad flu season in PA this winter and as fine as the nurses, doctors and hospital staff are, we'd like to finish our recovery at home - no more complications and hospital readmissions.
Sorry Dad, no more pretty Philly skyline views for you.
