Busting Out

Today we were able to leave the hospital. George will continue taking antibiotics at home to heal up his pneumonia and will be back on his daily Neupegen shots until after his tonsils are removed. That surgery is scheduled for July 8th. The recovery on that will be a little over 2 weeks. After that we can start getting the dates lined up again for his transplant. It is looking like it will now be at the end of July. We had a great stay at the hospital and are now looking forward to spending some good family time together for the next few weeks. Prayers that his body continues to heal from his pneumonia and that we can go into his next surgery in top shape. As we were leaving we got a wonderful send off from Joey the Service dog. We packed our bags and rode out in style. Goodbye for now, Weaver 4.

George’s transplant was a complete success. They are identical twins in every way internally. They share the exact same DNA. Our second child literally saved our third child’s life and now they will forever have a bond that only identical twins share. People may not have chosen this path to get twins and frankly I wouldn’t have either but I would not change even a second of any of it. Because of the blessing of George’s disease we have become a closer family. We have become closer with both old and new friends. We have met so many amazing people. We have experienced so many wonderful things. But most importantly we have grown closer to God. I did not know that I needed all of this in my life, but

Today was the last day of Chemo, for now. He will have to have two more Rounds after his transplant but very mild ones. He did it!!! Praise the Lord that this portion is over. Still in shock that he made it through the whole thing without any noticeable side effects. God protected him and kept him strong through each day.   Tomorrow is the big day for our Kate. She arrives at the crack of dawn to undergo her 3 hour surgery to harvest her bone marrow. They will go in through her hips and take around 9oz. We need prayers for her safety through this procedure. Pray for no infections and no complications for her. Pray for no contamination in the marrow as it is being harvested so that George can get the most pure and perfect cells. Pray for courage for Kate. She is excited but I know when she gets here tomorrow she will be nervous and a little scared. She has a tender little heart. Tomorrow is the day that we will have two of our three children in the hospital. Tomorrow is a day for rejoi
