Today, while getting magnesium, I got my blood results and they all look good and my platelets jumped to116.  The bad, my alkaline phosphatse nearly doubled and is 542, normal high is 136  So Dr. Frankfurt has been monitoring my frequency and condition of my bowel movements and is concerned that I may have graft vs host disease causing my digestive issues.  She is going to admit me to the hospital after my appointment on Tuesday so I can be scoped on Wednesday.  Then if there is no sign of graft vs host I should be able to come home.  If I have it I could be in the hospital for two weeks minimum and longer if it's bad.  I feel to good for there to be a bad case.  I'm not happy with the possibility of going back in the hospital.  Please pray that it all goes well and I get released right after the scope.  Neither of us wants to go through the hospital thing again.

God Bless,
Scott
