Fevers better

Fevers are better, but still have a way to go before we can get Michael out of the hospital.  The doctors tried to insert a new central line today so they can start a procedure called Photophoresis (more on this later, but it is a way to keep GVHD from surfacing again, especially while they are weaning the steroids faster than they wanted to).  But they were unable to go into the old site (the easy way), so they will put in a new site tomorrow and start the Photophoresis later in the day.
Another issue is one of the Nephrostomy tubes is not working right so he needs to have that procedure redone, hopefully it will be pretty quick.  They are supposed to be getting him worked in tomorrow.
Michael still requires frequent blood and platelet transfusions.  But the fevers are better for now and Mike looks pretty good considering all that is going on.  He is up walking in the halls and still trying to eat and drink as much as he can--that is tough for him as he does not have much of an appetite.
Melissa just got in tonight and is already in the swing of his cares and getting him moving.  I'm leaving early tonight to go back to the apartment and leave brother and sis together--hopefully no old scores to be settled.
Our prayer requests--that the viral and other infections continue to resolve, the kidney tube to be redone without problems, that Michael's appetite return so he can heal faster and the need for transfusions to decrease.
Thank you so much for your love and prayers.  We appreciate them so much!!
