Round 2

Today was a good day. He did have a more intensive chemo given to him but it only lasted 4 hours instead of 6. He felt a little sick after but really just tired. Still having fun with all his toys and still winning the hearts over of every staff that walks in the room. Thankful for another good day. This God, His way is perfect.   Psalm18:30

Prayer requests

George’s counts this morning were not improved. His platelets had gone down and so had his ANC. His hemoglobin went up 2 points but is still really low. His body is not responding to the platelet transfusions for some reason. He had another one today and we will check into the hospital on Sunday for the day to get one as well. They will have a blood transfusion ready to go too in case his hemoglobin doesn’t come back up. They are going to start cross matching his platelets that he receives to see if this will help them come up. What this means is that they will take the platelets and try and match them exactly to his own platelets. Right now his body is killing them off right as he receives them because they recognize them as being foreign. We need specific prayers that his transplant is not starting to fail.

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,...
