Derrick continues to improve with each passing day and we are hoping that he will be discharged from Hershey either today or tomorrow. He has been fever free for about 48 hours and the headaches have also gone away. Yesterday, they did a biopsy of one of the infected bumps on his stomach to determine what type of infection he has. This was done more for future reference than for any other reason. They do not plan to change his antibiotic, but the information will be helpful when Derrick goes to NYC for his transplant to help the doctors know the exact type of bacteria. He and Mindy also took a walk yesterday and Derrick even went outside for a short time! The doctors have told Derrick that they want him to consume as many calories as he can to gain back some of the weight he has lost before heading to Memorial Hospital on June 2. I am going to do my best to cook his favorite meals, but if anyone has a special meal or dessert that's plenty fattening, please feel free to bring it over.......I promise to save some for Derrick :)
Thanks again to everyone who has been so kind to us. We thank God every day for your love and support!

Derrick,
We are always thinking of you & Mindy. I'm sorry you didn't feel well enough to see the Flyers game tonight but you and I can root for them on TV.
Go Flyers and keep your spirits up.
Craig
