NOVEMBER 29TH DAY +100

Today we reach the milestone of 100 days since the transplant. The road has not been smooth - we have had quite a few ups and downs but the general direction is now UP!!

During the last week Scott has had a bout of suspected tonsilitis, but is now starting to feel a bit better and trying to eat as much smooth food as possible to help regain weight. Judy has finished HSC Marking so we are slowly returning to normal at home.

Ian is starting to feel better after his glandular fever relapse, and is very happy to hear that the rules about Learner Drivers has changed so that now 1 hour lesson counts as 3 hours with the long suffering parents. Common sense at long last from the RTA.

NOVEMBER 19TH DAY +90

After a few weeks back in hospital with a series of infections, Scott is feeling better and has reached the milestone of Day +90.

We have had a very busy few weeks and just as well the women in this household have stamina!! Jessica has competed her last university exam and Judy has been marking the HSC while taking Scott and Ian to hospital for various things. Ian has been unwell with high temperatures and a virus so has to stay away from Scott to minimise the chance of infection.

Jessica and Judy continue to cook, wash, work and generally keep the household going!!

NOVEMBER 15TH DAY+88

Scott has spent the weekend trying to increase his weight and hsi general level of fitness. His energy levels are still very low but his appertite is improving. Today Scott and I went out for lunch at a nearby cafe and enjoyed the view of Port Hacking Road. He is still attending St Vincent's three days a week for treatment and this combined with HSC Marking is very tiring for us all.

It is Jessica's last week of university so she is looking forward to walking out of that last exam. It doesn't really seem all that long ago that I walked out of Monash Uni for my last exam!!

NOVEMBER 10TH DAY +83

After a few weeks in hospital and a major reduction in weight, Scott is feeling much better and is now home.

He is still going to St Vincent's 3 times a week for treatment but it is so good to see him regaining his appetite and his sense of humour.

COMPUTER ILLNESS!!!

I have not been able to update the blog this week due to problems with the computer!! I hope it is back online.

Scott has not had a good week. Although he has been home, he has been troubled with a cough, so yesterday (November 6th) he went back to hospital. Fortunately there does not appear to be any major problem with the chest, but he does have a few problems with graft v host disease that requires a few days in hospital
