Day 212 BMT 2

Hello,

Today was a very good day - Rita felt better than yesterday. Her appetite seemed to be better and her energy level was up a bit. We did a total of 60 laps today which is very good. There is not much new to report and I think that is a good thing. What we want is to have a gradual transition to her new cells without very much drama in the process. So, if I can keep posting that there is not much to report, that will be a good thing.

Rita's sense of humor is still in tact - she continues to keep the staff here in a light mood and they all want her as their patient (oh suprise). Even though this is a tremendous challenge, she still is concerned with how the people around her are doing. She thinks about how long they have to drive into work, how the roads are and who is taking care of their kids. Does any of this sound familar?

So, as you can see, it really feels somewhat normal - just in a different place. As the song goes - "She lifts me up" - without even trying. Aren't I supposed to be doing that for her? Oh well, some things will never change - I hope!!

So, enough rambling and Goodnight for now - Love, Dave & Rita
