Home is where the heart is

Today we are officially home. We had been staying at my sisters house while our house was getting some improvements for George. He really really loves his home. He got so excited to walk in the door. He walked all through the house just checking to see if everything was all still there. It is going to take a full week of hard labor to whip this place back into shape. It’s clear to me now who the tidy one is in the family is. When mamma is gone, so are all rules and cleanliness. George seems a little sick today. His eyes are really red underneath and he has a rash around his mouth and neck. No fevers so just hoping this is just yet another side effect from all his body is going through right now. Just because we are home I ask that you continue praying for him. His battle is far from over. It actually seems to be a little tougher now that we have everyday elements to deal with. But he is still so happy and other then almost being attacked by a giant rat snake today, I managed to be loving to everyone in my family regardless of the tornado of mess that they welcomed me home to. Nothing says we missed you mommy like a giant pile of laundry that rivals Mt Everest.

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
