God’s Grace

Today was the day will be etched in our hearts forever. On the 21st of June we walked into our hospital room and into the unknown of what we were going to face. Today, On the 21st of August we walked out of our hospital room and were cheered on by all the nurses and drs and family as George did his “victory lap” around the floor while the Rocky theme song blared. Cheers, tears (lots of those) , bubbles and praises as he made his way through the halls of Weaver 4. The halls were he has been so well taken care of. The halls where we have walked so many times but the past month have not been able to. The halls that will always be a special home to us. Today George shook up the world of Bone Marrow Transplant and walked out of there way ahead of schedule. Those halls kept us but God protected us. Through every step. I am brought to my knees. Praise and thanksgiving. Today was a day that will not ever be forgotten. Tomorrow, well tomorrow I will explain all that we have in store for us for the next 70 days but tonight we are sleeping in our own bed and kissing on our sweet, happy and healthy little boy.  I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes it’s boasts I. The Lord; let the humble heat and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! Psalm 34:1-3

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
