Day 78
The best laid plans can take on a life of their own, to mix cliches. With the move of John's tests forward, came the word today that John will be released on Friday, August 29. We celebrated by making reservations on the morning of the 31st to fly back to Atlanta in time for John to have a burrito at Willy's before it closes for the day. I spent a couple of late hours packing boxes and carrying them down to UPS as the initial shipment of boxes home to celebrate.
Tomorrow, with the sun, will bring with it more than the one day's troubles to tend to, and there rarely is time to appreciate "life", but this evening even the Seattle sky dared not scare up a cloud on it horizon.
The next several weeks will have their warnings, as all the tests for chronic GVHD are done, and statistically, there is still is still a long way to go. Tonight though, I am thankful that a bit of hope, a lot of kindness, good care and hard work now shows promise.
