April 19, 4:30pm - the first day of recovery!

Even with everything that is going on in Boston, Christine's attending dermatologist was able to visit Christine today. She told her that today is her first day of recovery because they found new skin! What an amazing piece of news. We are by no means free and clear yet - there are still a slew of things to worry about and the road to recovery will be long and painful. However, we are glad to hear that things are starting to head in the right direction.

Christine's bosses from Mass Eye and Ear were able to visit her today as well, so the boredom was broken up a bit. Christine asked me to tell you all that she loves the comments you are leaving on the blog, even though she isn't responding. Now that her vision is returning some she has been able to check out the blog posts, though she still has to have someone read things to her. She says to keep those comments coming!

  1. New skin! The new lens on one eye! Signs of healing on both eyes. Coffee milk shake enjoyed yesterday. Small steps, but important steps! I am so pleased for you Christine. It was such a joy to visit you yesterday and see the strength of your spirit. My thoughts and prayers remain with you. And also with Ami and Caroline who are with so most of the time!

    Love, Linda
