I'm looking forward to Spring and some sunshine! I'm still out of the hospital!! Although I did have to go to Childrens' last night for an IV antibiotic infusion, but I only stayed for 3 hours. I got some virus in my stomach (I dont' feel a thing) so I need antibiotics twice a day by IV. My mom & dad have turned into nurses, so they will do that at home from now on. I still have to go to lots of appointments but at least I get to sleep in my own bed. And its a good bed. My mom & dad bought me a new big bed while I was in the hospital, so it's really comfy.
I've been playing lots of video games on my computer and xbox live. I know I have to start doing schoolwork soon. I got a couple new tutors, which start tomorrow. Its still hard to focus so its hard for me to do school work. But I really just want to go back to school and be normal again. Hopefully I can catch up and be back with my friends soon. And, hey, Austin, I would love help doing my homework!!

HOME SWEET HOME
Yep, I am officially home! It was my 2nd night in my own bed, and I liked it! I've had 2 days of appt's in downtown Seattle at SCCA, but, I get to go home after! I like it much better. I'm feeling better every day. Thank you to all who helped me, wrote to me, visited me, prayed for me, and everything. I wish I could go back to school, but, not until Dec 5th. That will be my 300 day marker.

The END of my hospital stay is near!!
Yep, it's true. I believe on Tues they are going to let me outta here for good. I've been getting 4 hour passes for the past several days to leave the hospital during the day. I've just been going home and resting, watching my dvr'd shows, but it's way better than the hospital. I get another 4 hour pass today at 3-7pm. My mom got me a brand new bed the other day. It's really nice. Brand new sheets and everything! I'm going to bring my xbox home today so I can hook it back up to LIVE. LIVE never did work at the hospital. The IT guy never did come, even though we asked like 5 times. Oh well. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!
I do have some graft vs host desease (gvhd). My hands were really pealing bad, and they were burning for several days last week. They gave me some kind of steriod, which has stopped it somewhat. I'm pealing other places too, but the hands are the worst. I dont' know what happens after I leave the hospital. I know that the 1st 100 days of the graft are important, and I have to be within 30 minutes of SCCA, that's downtown Seattle. We can make it there in 29 minutes using the carpool lane, so we are ok living at home. I'm really glad we don't have to move. T
his whole thing would have been so much harder without my friends coming to visit and my family being here for me. Every weekend since Oct 11th my uncle Ted, and my "auntie" Jeanine has come to spend the night with me. They were a nice change from my parents. I can't wait to get out of here, and off the pain medication, so I can get back to feeling normal again. It's still going to be a long time before I can go back to school. They said 300 days, so that would be Dec 5th. The 100 days is May 18th.
