Day 67 - Things are getting better

On Saturday Roz drove her mini for the first time since she had her Hickman line put in some months ago. She was then able to drive herself to the Hospital on Monday where they took more tests and had no need to do any changes - which was good.

Today she went back in, met up with Hanna a senior consultant who said that her CMV had been negative the past two blood tests, so they could reduce the 'pink' tablets - these are very very strong anti-virals that combat the CVM, but also dramatically slow down the bone marrow.
Today she also had been told to further reduce her tablets that counter rejection of the transplant. Both of these are great steps forward, although it might bring on a form of host Vs graft (or vice versa) side effects, which the Doctors want a bit of for some reason.

So a very good day. She sounded very bright and cheerful. Steve's mum is down to help, and its Ros' birthday tomorrow - so we hope to all go over for dinner at her place

The only down side to the day is that Josh, my lovely sheep dog who was run over before Christmas and has already had two operations to put his hip bone back in its socket, was X-Rayed and showed that he has to have it put back in and wired in for a third time tomorrow - he is not a happy dog, and lots of general anesthetics are no good for dogs.
