Day 100
Round numbers, if nothing else, are landmarks within troubled waters, markers to bouy a point in passage.
John's blood check today showed slow but consistent improvement. More than relapse, his greatest risk is from infection for now. I learned this weekend of one patient waiting for transplant who developed a fungal infection. It lodged in his liver and it took a year for him to recover. It should make you appreciate every day a bit more.
John has an appointment with Dr. Khoury on Friday afternoon, which ought to be the last step for him in his decision on transplants. I've been learning a lot about nuclear medicine and how iodine can be attached to and directed by antibodies. I still have a lot of digging to do to get a sense of this alternative to the standard treatments today.
So, today comes and ends quietly, but with no more certainty than any other. I suppose that is true for everyone, only we find a way to forget in order to assume that tomorrow will be like today and on from there on. As for me, I'm looking forward to 200 for now.
