Family time

Since being home from the hospital we have been busy but having a great time. George is doing so well. You can’t tell at all that he has anything wrong with him. He is just loving being home with his family and being able to be out and about (a little). This has been so good for my soul too. If you know me you know that I like to keep busy with fun plans. The seclusion section of this whole process may be harder on me then the kids 😂.  The girls are both in camps this week and I am working hard to help get everything at work done before I will be away for so long. We are also still  back and forth between Nemours and Wolfsons for all of the tests and procedures. So although there is nothing new to report on George’s health, I thought I would just let everyone know what we are up to. We are excited and looking forward to being able to celebrate the 4th of July. It’s one of our favorite holidays and we did not think we would be able to partake in any celebration this year. It may sound silly, but this is a joy and something we are grateful for. This will be the last day of fun for us for a little while so we are really looking forward to packing as much in on that day. In honor of this exciting upcoming holiday here are a few Mitchell patriotic pictures from the past 🇺🇸

    Love the pictures, and love to know that all of you are having some fun family time. George and all of the family are very much on my mind, in my heart and especially in my prayers. I'm praying for the doctors and nurses who will be working with him throughout all of this also. Sending love to all of you......and knowing that The Lord is walking with you step by step!

Twins

I always wanted twins. Twins run in my moms family so I somewhat imagined it might actually happen. What I did not imagine was it happening at the ripe old age of 42.  They may not have shared a womb or even been born in the same year but Kate and George are officially twins. 100% engraftment! 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

We made it

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
