Day 33

Today ,we have already walked 2 x ! Stan was awake longer this am before going back to nap this afternoon and he even watched part of the football game before he fell asleep (of course a football game always puts me to sleep).
They have changed his blood pressure meds this afternoon---so we will see how these meds work. Also,his feet were a little swollen,so they have given him lasiks. We were glad that (at least for now) he will stay on the steroid cream (we just have to make sure he gets it 4X a day).The Doctor said that a "little graft versus host disease" is actually good for a patient who has had an allo transplant like Stan, because it means that although it is attacking the skin cells,the donor cells will also attack any remaining leukemia cells. Stan had a chest xray today--no results yet.
I keep hoping that if I can keep him eating regularly and walking regularly and taking all his meds on schedule--that MAYBE we will begin an upward trend!
