Career day

George is now back on chemo for 4 days. This has nothing to do with his progress it is just something they have to do to make sure his old cells don’t try and push Kate’s out. It is not as strong as the one he was on before so there should be little to no side effects. Since he did so well on the intense stuff I am hoping this will be easy on him and only for it to be doing it’s exact job of keeping old George’s cells kicked to the curb.  When people go through certain trials in their lives it tends to make them want to pursue a career in that field of work. Who knows, George may chose to be a dr or nurse one day to be able to help other children in their need. For now however he seems to be going down a different career path. As it stands today, he will be pursuing the construction and or fireman route. I am certain he will excel at these since he has had ample training. He will be available for internships over the summer of 2020 if anyone is looking.  Today was another great day. George is feeling great and warming hearts all over the hospital.     For the Lord is good; His loving kindness is everlasting and his faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5

    You got this George!
    They're both adorable!

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. We need this all to turn around and for his body to regain all the forward momentum that it started with right after he received Kate’s marrow. Something is going on right now and...

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,...
