Wednesday, 9/5/07--Staying the Course

Believe that today is about Day 70 in the count down from the Blood Marrow Transplant date.

The Doctors use Day 90 on their time line to do another Blood Marrow Biopsy and a bench mark to discontinue the weekly IVIG infusions.

Day 100 is significant in the monitoring the possible Graft vs Host rejection syndrome.

So with each passing day, we're grateful that there are no serious complications,

There are still lots of restrictions and pre-cautions.
Seems like they have a reason for me not to be out in large crowds yet or do a lot of the projects I'd like to be doing around the house and yard.

The energy level is still not where I'd like it to be but they say it often takes 6 months to a year for full recovery.
Believe I'm gaining strength and endurance daily. :-)

Dear Bob and Sharon,
We continue to pray for both of you each and every day. I, personally, pray for you each morning on my way into work. I pray for healing. I pray for wisdom for both of you, and I pray for that God will give you both strength to continue to persevere and run the face and fight the good fight. I have been so blessed by your continued positive, grateful attitudes. The Lord loves you both, and I surely do as well.
