Day 53 Update
Hi all,
Bob's doing well, although now he has steroid-induced diabetes from the high dose prednisone he's been on. He's got a kit and is checking his sugars every morning and giving himself lantus insulin in the evening. This should just be a temporary thing, and hopefully will stop after the prednisone is done. Unfortunately it's going to take at least another month to taper the prednisone off, since he was on such a high dose. Other than that things are pretty stable....the rash is better, and Dr. L. still thinks he's doing well. The white count and platelets did drop somewhat from the additional drugs, but not enough to warrant transfusions, and his hgb was up to 15.1 yesterday. We are on a schedule of traveling to Penn on Mon. and Thursdays, which generally becomes an all day adventure. Left yesterday at 9a and didn't get home until close to 3p. And I think CVS is going to create a drive-up lane just for us. Today is the first day out of the last 4 that I haven't had to drop off or pickup a prescription. Ah, but Bob just reminded me we need to go tomorrow for prednisone and insulin. So, our 2nd home away from home.
Thanks to all who continue to write....and here I must single out Mary Day. We were looking for your boys at the home-run derby and the all-star game. And of course I remember our lunch at Mondavi and our stops at the other wineries too. I use the one t-shirt I bought as a dust rag now. That was a great trip. Bob says thanks to all for the cards and e-mails(esp. Linda S). I've been nagging him about writing, and hopefully he will be on here soon. We both appreciate your prayers and concern.
Hope everyone's having a good summer. Stay cool and safe.
All our love,
Bob and Mo

Mo and Bob,
It has been a long time since I have sat down and read Dr. Bobs adventure. You certainly have had one heck of an adventure with many ups and downs but it certainly seems like you are overcoming this. Thanks to all the incredible procedures and medical advances, not to forget the incredible power of prayer and miracles. Even tho we have not been in recent contact you all have been and continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Life in Delaware has also had its ups and downs but i wont get into that now. I just wanted to say HI, miss you guys, love you alla(say hi to all my other buds at NPH) and i'm sending with this email lots of hugs from Bill, myself and Jessica.
