Back to school

This morning my wonderful mother came up to the hospital at the crack of dawn (literally) to allow me to run home to get Bowers off for her first day of second grade. My mom has been so incredibly helpful to me and my family throughout this entire process and I can not thank her enough for always putting us first and allowing me to not miss out on such a special moment this morning. It meant the world to me and especially to Bowers. It’s hard to balance being away and keeping normalcy but we are trying. Bowers is amazing. We are so proud of her and how she handles life.  George is having a little bit of a bad day today. Nothing was off on his morning reports but he is for sure off. He has just been sad and wanting to be held all day. They also had to change his dressings on his PIC line and change his needle is his port which is a huge and traumatizing process. But in true Wolfson fashion, the Wolfie Wagon pulled up to our room with snacks and Superman. This cheered him up at the moment he needed it most. So prayers for our buddy as his body continues to fight and take on all of this medicine. It looks like it’s beginning to take a little bit of a toll on him.  
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save.  Zephaniah 3:17

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
