more appts...

...after the speech therapy evaluation it was decided that we should treat the facial palsy aggressively-3 to 5 times a week. they are going to do a three part therapy:

1. the e-stimulation of the nerve
2. a series of ten different facial exercises
3. some sort of facial massage

each session should take about one hour and we are actually going across the river to health south instead of hershey for this. some days this will be a good thing and some days it will be a rush to get from the day hospital all the way to wormleysburg in time. those days i guess we pack a lunch.

they really don't give us any indication of whether or not this will be a short term therapy or a long term therapy, but i guess we still have to get into the one day at a time mode.

as far as the transplant stuff is concerned all is still good-we have been told that we have a bit of GVH (graft vs host) going on-but they are not too concerned-just keeping a close eye on him. sometimes this effects the salivary glands and give you "dry cotton mouth" and that is what he has now. at least he is drinking more water...

well, he is in for the night. i guess i should try and get some sleep too.

thanks for checking in
