Happy St. Patty Day


Today is March 15th and Matt is doing pretty good on his counts. His anc's are around 7,000, and his white and red blood counts keep going up. The doctors are treating his GVHD in hopes to make it go away soon. They are trying to ween him off all the IV medications to pill form. We have tried twice unsuccessfully to ween him off his pain med's, The doctors say that will be the last one to go. We have had a few problems with the new picc line so its coming out on Monday and the Hickman line will be put back in. We hope to get out of the hospital in a week or so. We will be in Seattle for approx 3 months on an out patient basis. Nicole developed double lung pneumonia last week but is recovering really well. Hi to all and keep the emails coming Matt enjoys them. Lynn and Family
