"It's getting better all the time..." -the beatles

Day 63!
Just posting a list of bits and bobs (again) based on my conversation with Margie yesterday. I usually jot everything down as we talk but it so happens that I was on my cell phone outside, so this'll all be from memory.

-The prednazone dose is down to 5 mgs, from 50 at the beginning.
-She's not experiencing the daily vomiting, thanks to her team diagnosing the GVHD and treating it!
-Margie and Robert don't have to go in daily for her infusions of magnesium and potasium, she can now take a supplement and also supplement with her food where she can.
-That means that at the Hutch, she'll still be going in for blood work as they still have to keep her monitored . Also for physical therapy, meetings with the nutritionists, her doctors and team. Overall though, She and Robert are experiencing a little less time at the Hutch and may also get to experience a weekend "off"
-She's trying to get out for daily walks

All I can remember for now.
Love,
Kathleen
