It was 61 degrees in Paris today and sunny. Had everything gone according to plan we would have arrived there on this day. We had rented an apartment from old friends for 3 weeks in a fabulous location one block from Musee D'Orsay. Friends were going to join us staying in a boutique hotel down the street for 9 days.....
But we are here and Peter is improving and that is all that matters right now. We are waiting for especially the white blood cells to start populating Peter's body so they can fight off infections. There are 5 major types and all of them are needed. As Dr. Stogsdill explained today, one can compare it to a baseball game. In order to be able to play, all bases must be covered.
We ate well today. For lunch I made a watercress soup, green and springlike. With it we had a little cheese and bread and later a piece of Marie's pear tart.
At 6 I picked up an Indian dinner at Yosi and Grant. Dal, Spinach With Paneer and rice, a meal we had enjoyed at their house and Peter requested. Their children Grace and Isaac went all out with special get well wishes.
Thank you for the wonderful messages you posted. Reading them gives Peter so much joy.

Jutta and Peter, I am so happy to hear that Peter's appetite continues, who's wouldn't with all that nourishing, delicious manna.
I am sorry your blog came about under these circumstances but Jutta, you are a natural "writer." I hope you continue it in the good days to come, you have so much beauty to share.
Peter couldn't help but be handsome lots of hair, not so much hair, whatever...
XO, Bess
Dear Peter, Dear Jutta, what glorious news about the doctor's wonderful findings. Peter, I can see all those white blood cells lining up in their ranks by type and marching off to do their duty by you, their wonderful home. We send prayers and cheers and much love. Joan and David

The blog is amazing- you do write it so beautifully Jutta.
Andrew and I are both sending all of our healing thoughts winging their way north.
Hi Peter and Jutta--
So glad to hear about the good progress. Just as we expected, especially with your strong wills and amazing team. We will continue to think of you every hour of every day. We will miss you in Paris, but will come back with lists for YOU when you go. Just don't expect Bruce to come back with suggestions of where to get the best rabbit.
Bruce and Landis
