Things are going great for me.  There are still little blips now and then,
but I feel fantastic and have lots of energy.  I had a bad reaction from
some codeine for a cough related to a sinus infection (I seem to be
allergic to it) and that put a strain on me and kicked my GVHD into
action.  I will be on prednisone until October to get it back in check.  
Other than a round face I don't have any side effects and am
continuing on with my active life.

I am enjoying playing with all my grandchildren and getting back to my
machine embroidery and many other crafts.  I have to stay away from
digging in my garden until I am off the prednisone, but I am enjoying
watering and dead heading all my flowers.

My recovery is truly a miracle to me and my family. I am now over four
and a half years from diagnosis and transplant  and I am back on track
with my life.

Best wishes to all,
