Back to real life

George had labs on Friday and his ANC came back 29,000. I mean is this for real?? God is the real deal people. Praise his wonderful name. All of this, every single second of this transplant (and before) has been God. We are only here to enjoy all of his graces and mercies and love. Can’t take one day for granted. Especially when we are being so well taken care of by our loving God.  All thanksgiving to him.     We are in full force real life once again. George comes with me to work and sits in carpool lines, ballet pick ups and on and on. Good thing he loves wearing his mask. Never once complains about it and even asks for it sometimes. Life is good right now. More appointments this week and I will report back with news as it comes in. We are happy and hot. It has been 100 degrees here the past few days. One of which was standing at a soccer game for an hour and a half. George didn’t come, don’t worry. He is still in his bubble at home and in the mini van running his sisters around.

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
