Happy Easter

Well, we got to spend Easter at home and everyone is feeling relatively well. Jeff had another check-up last week, and his blood work, once again, looks good. Because of the rapidity at which AML hits its victims, it will be a long time before we won't be worrying about Jeff's blood work. But, like I tell Jeff, we have to live each day one at a time and expect him to remain healthy, because if we spent all of our time worrying about a relapse, then what's the point of living?

Jeff is continuing on his way to recovery. He feels well most of the time, but is a bit wired and quite unlike himself from the steroids. As he is weaned from them over the next few weeks, I expect that my normally laid-back husband will start acting a little more like himself. His drug regimen is still pretty extensive, and in addition to prednisone, includes an anti-viral, an anti-fungal, an antibiotic, anti-anxiety medication, insulin, prescription strength Prilosec, and two immunosuppressants. So, you can imagine that life isn't quite back to normal yet, but it's way better than it was a month ago.
