Since October 31st, our very good friend Carol Morris from Denver has been with Jo on a daily basis. She helped Jo get situated at our apartment and then moved into the hospital. Every day she took notes on what the doctors and the nurses told us and every day she was by Jo's side encouraging Jo to take another walk around the block or go out to the lounge for a little social time. And yes, Carol has been responsible for all the Tweeting.
We have been very fortunate to have Carol with us these first three weeks and we are extremely grateful. Thank you Carol!
Last night my mom (Meema) flew into the Houston airport to take over the caregiving reins. As you know, she has been Jo's caregiver on many occasions over the past 5 years, but this will be the first time she gets to take care of Jo without also having Anna on her hip.

Hi Jo,
I still remember the day my friend lost her hair with an SCT. It hit pretty much all on one day. Sad day. Then I remember the day we saw it come back, six weeks after beginning the transplant. We were sitting in the doctor's office for a routine follow-up visit, and I said, "Anna, look!" Sure enough, her beautiful hair was on its way back to stay.
Going for the cure, Jo! Soon you'll be leaving the hospital, never expected to return. I wish I could take away the discomfort right now, more than anything. Thinking of you, Jo, with love.
Valerie from Oklahoma
