Laura's had a fair bit of coughing for a while and the other day she noticed that her throat was scratchy. Then noticed a rash on other parts of her body. Looks like she has graft vs. host disease.

She had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. Dr. Langston confirmed that she does have graft vs. host. They think it's a good thing when it happens in moderation so they aren't terribly concerned. However, they want to treat it now so it doesn't get worse. So, she's been given some Prednisone which will help with some of that. It will have some side effects that she may not love, but one good thing is that it will probably give her an increased appetite.

They still want to see her once a week at Emory -- which she was hoping would taper off, but we're thankful that they're on top of things.

Emily tells me that they still think she's doing well and that all of the things that are happening are normal.

Laura will start teaching again in a little over a week. And, while I think she's ready to feel like life is back to normal, she might have some adjusting to do. Your prayers are appreciated.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if I left some important details out. I hope that Emily --- or Laura -- will fill in those details in the comments section.

Thank you all for keeping up with Laura.
We love you.
