WORKING

Well, we have been busy! Especially John! It is nice to be getting back to some normalcy - slowly. John was busy working part time for Be the Match when he applied for a full-time job. After several weeks and lots of interviews he was offered the job and started working full-time this week. YAY for benefits and a happy working husband. It is a great job that he loves. It is exactly what he wanted. He wanted to work for LLS or Be the Match and be able to make a difference in lives. He is busy running and planning donor drives.

Overall John is feeling really good. He is almost off of his cyclo :) Just a few more weeks. Hopefully that keeps going well and stupid GVH stays away. All of his numbers have been great, except 2 of his liver enzymes have been creeping up - I hate that. But they have been doing that for months.  They go up and down and up and down. Oh - but now John has to have cataract surgery! Effects of chemo and high doses of prednisone. But, luckily once that is over, he should be able to see much better. He is nervous, but excited about it.

Other than that, we have just been busy. Kids are back into the swing of school, but have way too much homework. John has clinic appointments twice a month, which will continue for a while.

Oh - and we have Light the Night tomorrow night. John and our friend Amanda put on a fabulous voice recital as a benefit concert. It was super fun and John loved performing again. They raised several hundred dollars and had fun with it. Overall John has raised over $3000, and hit his goal.
