Home

After 10 days in the hospital, we are home!!!! George is so happy to be here. He really loves his house and his sisters. We went on a good walk this morning for some fresh air and to feel what being outside felt like again. Still hot 😂.  But it did feel great to soak up the elements. We go back to Nemours tomorrow for the day for another platelet and blood transfusion. His counts had dropped some as we were leaving but they let us come home regardless to give us a little break. We will be there Thursday and Friday as well but hopefully just for his chemo and not for more transfusions. I thought for sure we would both sleep so great last night since we were finally back on our own beds. Well, maybe tonight will be the night. I think George was so excited to be here that he was up most of the night. Either that or we missed all of the middle of the night nurse checks and beeping alarms. Whatever it was will hopefully pass and we will be snoring all night long tonight. We are so grateful to be home as a complete family. It was a great feeling having us all under one roof again. Praying that we don’t have to have another hospital stay. If we do though at least we know it’s a place we like and are comfortable. Praying that George will continue to heal and have positive reports on his progress. Praying for continued strength and patients throughout all of this. We look forward to seeing all of our friends at Nemours tomorrow. I’m sure they have been missing us. I mean, who likes to work in a peaceful and non chaotic office, right? Well don’t worry nurses and drs, we will see you at 9:30 and will be ready to add the fun back to your work day. Feeling Gods love surrounding us and His presence always.  
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15

Twins

Image
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
