Roller coaster ride

This morning George’s hemoglobin has dropped again to 8 so he is going to have to have another blood transfusion. Good news is that they think he can wait until Monday to have it.  I haven’t spoken to any of the drs yet about what’s going on specifically so I don't know what the next step will be. I will be able to meet with them Monday to discuss everything.  This morning was the first morning that they allowed me to give him a smaller dose of the steroids but I am guessing that this will be the only dose to be that fortunate. So we power through and get over this hump all the while praying praying for his body to work itself out internally. I have complete peace and confidence that God will heal George fully and protect him along every step of this journey. Through all the ups and downs. This has been a roller coaster in every sense but we are buckled in tight and are grounded knowing who our healer and protector are.

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
