Evening Family and Friends,
It was a year ago this past Saturday that my doctor came in with the results of my 2nd bone marrow biopsy; 16 days after my diagnosis: ACELLULAR; no acute myloid leukemia. I have been in remission for the leukemia for a year now and since the stemcell transplant in November I have been free of the myelofibrosis that caused the leukemia. But I have been most thankful for the prayers and kindhearts of all our family and friends, old and new, who have made it possible to stay the course. He truly is a stronghold in times of trouble.
Dawn and I did make a trip back to Chicago today for a check on my GvHD flareup last Thursday and had a good report. I'll be gradually dropping back on the meds I had to increase the last few days and will have to be wary of the heat and sun to keep it in control. We did talk them into removing my central line today; something I've had in my chest since last May. I'm a free man once again but no jumpin' in the pond......yet. Just the shower. I will go back next Monday to see the doctor and see where we go from here.
Gratefully yours and His,
Steve (and sleeping Dawn)

Steve and Dawn - Glad to hear you got a good report from the doctor this week. Stay out of the sun and heat, please. And, listen to Dawn when she tells you that, too. :)
