First day

We came in this morning for George’s CT scan, port placement and PIC line placement. What was suppose to be a 2.5 hour surgery took almost 6. After he woke up he was struggling. His heart rate was super high and his breathing was rapid. He was taken for 2 separate sets of xrays. Thank goodness they came back clear. The dr thinks that his lungs collapsed some from being under sedation for so long. He is being monitored still for that and his high heart rate. He is still pretty out of it but is relaxing with a snack now. This day did not go as I had imagined it would. Please pray for his heart rate to regulate as well as his lungs. Also for him to have a peaceful night. Although he is on some good pain medicine he is still in a lot of pain and discomfort. Tomorrow is a new day and we will rejoice for now that he is awake, alert and eating. Oh and we have the absolute best nurses watching him. One even prayed over me and him while the stress level was high earlier.

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

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
