Lazy days

This past weekend was the coldest it has been since last winter. We welcomed it with open arms. Mitch had some good friends from high school come in town for a visit so me and the kids camped out at my parents house while they are out of town. We stayed in pajamas almost the entire weekend and watched a whole season of Little House on the Prairie. It was a childhood favorite of mine so I was so excited to see that all 9 seasons are offered on Amazon Prime. It’s the little things these days 😂  Monday morning we were back at the dr as usual. His counts came back ok. Not great. Not bad. We will go back in Thursday for another blood transfusion and then we will check into the day hospital Friday for another round of IV chemo. Fun things from the week have included Thanksgiving themed donuts from Krispy Kreme, Christmas card photo shoot, Bowers’ Thanksgiving lunch at school and Kate’s thanksgiving program at school. Thursday night Mitch will be out of town so I have something special and fun (for the girls) and safe (for the immune compromised). More on that later this week. All is well in the Mitchell house. Including everyone’s health. Last week was the week of colds. This week, albeit only Tuesday, we are all feeling great. Thank you Lord for all of your blessings. Big and small.

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
