Back in the Hospital
On Monday Jill's doctors decided to hospitalize her since her graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) symptoms were not improving. Her digestive tract is inflamed and she simply can't effectively absorb the medication or nutrients when administered orally. In the hospital they are able give her all her nutrients and drugs intravenously, and continuously monitor and adjust her meds, nutrition and other conditions as needed. By Thursday the symptoms (diarrhea, dehydration and weight loss) had started to improve again. She is tired and weak but feeling better today. She is beginning to eat again.
On Wednesday I flew out to Seattle to help Sylvia, and Scott arrived on Thursday. I will stay here as long as I can help. Thank you all for your expressions of support.

Please give Jill our love. Let her know that she's in our thoughts and prayers every day. Give our love to Sylvia and Scott, too.
We miss Jill's beautiful face and can't wait to see her.
