T day plus 0 and food still tastes good!

Gil got his stem cells back this morning with fanfare and a t shirt from the transplant team which has "we're marrow minded" on the back. He plans to get the staff to sign it. He's been playing some of his favorite music on his ipod speaker system (thanks for the loan from Adam/Kate) and has promised copies of the ones different staff members like.
My brother Ed says Gil will rot in his own private copyright infringement hell someday!

I went out to the Apple store "genius bar" today, to get Gil's computer outfitted with a device that will allow him to access the hospital's WIFI to play on line poker and cribbage. Success!
And food still tastes good to the guy; Shrimp Scampi for lunch and Barbecue Ribs for dinner.

Perhaps the momentum of his ability to enjoy will carry him further into this next week than all the horror stories have led us to expect.

"T"ransplant day plus zero. Stay tuned.
