Running Back to Saskatoon

Yes we're coming home!
We got the OK to leave this week and had our last clinic visit this morning. Our apartment is filled with suitcases, boxes of medical supplies, bags of garbage and recycling. Hope we put the right stuff in the car....

Medical news in brief:
Arnie is doing well. He is off his antibiotics. His Hickman Catheter will stay in place for a month or two. He is at risk of a recurrent CMV infection and would need IV treatment if this occurred. We must be very vigilant for signs of infection and graft-versus-host disease for the next many months. But......we can come home!

We had a visit from David & Amy Leigh at the beginning of the week. How wonderful to share our last few days in Seattle with them. More news later. Right now I have to pack.

Sending you our love.
Arnie & Brenda

I am on the move too. Sunday 11 am I am off to Dubai to serve my sentence. Offer was made and counter offer pendeing on the Gabriola lot. Have a safe journey and if you go through Kamloops make sure you look up Leigh Peredsen and family. They are swell folks and would be sad if you didn't say hi.

Excellent! I'm glad you get to leave when you expected. Was there enough room for the lathe? ;)

Happy trails!
