I've slept most of Sunday, Monday, and today. I continue to have a very uncomfortable itch. My body is healing; today I made the first neutrophils, just a few, but the beginning of rebuilding my immune system. Stay tuned. -B

- 11/22/2010 Transplant plus 4 yrs plus 77 days!We are home from what is Bonnie's third trip to Boston docz since Aug 31 (Transplant anniversary). This week we are celebrating our 22 anniversary. Both of us are busy on the book and with grandparenting. Bonnie's left eye continues to heal the "defects" that probably resulted in an attack of graft-vs-host disease this summer. Her Boston surgeon put a piece a placenta on the cornea and stitched it shut the first week of Sept and again in October. Most of the October stitches have come off, but Bonnie is keeping it well gooped and taped shut in an effort to give it a couple of other weeks of rest to secure the healing. Daniel is the sick one these days with terrible hip pain and now a very bad case of the crud. And still we are happy and doing well. We had a wonderful time with the kiddos at Halloween. Bonnie made Halloween coloring books from their own past Halloween pictures (at Crayola.com). They all came to hear Bonnie preach on the 21st; they are getting more and more accustomed to being in church and liking it more. We will be celebrating Thanksgiving at Jen's house with them and the other four grandparents. We loved seeing grandson Jackson and his mom, Dr. Deb in Boston. Jackson is quite the kindergartener and athlete these days. He's quite into playing chess. The book writing is squeezed in between doc and kiddo visits and church activities. We enjoy beautiful sunsets over the ocean every night.

Bonnie,
I lost track of you sometime last fall but now, through Major changing his email address and notifying Daniel, have found you. Found you to be in the most amazing spirits on an even more amazing journey. I've not read it all, but to know you are doing well.
Major and I have been sitting with a local Buddhist group for almost a year and one of our last discussions was on suffering. I heard a formula for suffering.
Suffering = Pain times resistance -- so if resistance is zero, zero times pain = zero.
Obviously your resistance is a 0 and thus so is your suffering!
I love you,
Lexy

My Dearest Bonnie:
Healing -- what a lovely word; what a beautiful process. Slow healing -- in God's time and at your body's pace.
Through your window to the world:
May the sun bring you new energies by day.
May the moon softly restore you by night.
May the rain wash away any worries you may have.
May gentle breezes refresh your soul.
And may God hold you close to his heart.
Love, grace and comfort,
Beanie
