Every day, Jo feels a little better. She is now telling me that she is between 80% and 85% of normal. Her headaches slowly went away over the course of about 4 weeks and her hips are really starting to feel good. After a year of hobbling around, she is having to concentrate pretty hard on walking "normal" again and it will still take several months for her to regain her strength, especially in her legs.
Jo has been in Texas for the past couple of weeks and that makes it tough to get any news regarding her blood counts. The TX doctors send all the results back to Dr. Alvarez and unless we make a call to Dr. Alvarez, we are kind of out of the loop. The way I see it, if Dr. Alvarez doesn't call us, everything must be okay.
Jo and Anna will be back in Denver next week. Dr. Alvarez should have information on Jo's ability to take the new PNH drug and Jo's 8-week post-op appointment with Dr. Kelly will be coming up. Currently, we are just enjoying our time away from the doctors and the hospitals.

Tim - Time away from the doctors and hospitals is without a doubt one of the best blessings in the world. Thanks for doing an update. Now I can quit chewing my fingernails for a while longer. I hope you have used the past two weeks to recharge your batteries and did lots of deep breathing exercises. You deserved a break. Loving thoughts and prayers - Judy & Gib
Jo-
Happy Mother's Day!
Thanks, Tim, for keeping us updated.
Love from Tennessee,
