Yesterday I had an apt. with my doc, I had my 30 day bone marrow biopsy. Even though I wasn't at exactly day 30 they still call it that. All went well, we won't know the results of whether or not I'm 100% donor and if any leukemia cells are there for about 10 days. I also got a medicine called IVIG to help boost my immune system while I am still recovering here. I will get IVIG once a month for the first 3 months then on an as needed basis. I had to get an IV put in and it took about 3 hours to infuse. My weight dropped yesterday to our dismay, I really felt like it would go up. I was 188 last Tuesday and yesterday I was 185. The doctor was not concerned with this and knows once I can start tasting stuff and my appetite comes back this should not be a problem. My platelets and red blood cells are coming up on their own which is a good sign I am engrafting. The days are just going by here at the hope lodge, I am looking forward to day 100 when Mindy and I can get back home. Thanks to all who are praying for us and continue to pray that the results of my BMB are good, that I'm 100% donor and no leukemia cells are found.
I lift my head up to the hills, where does my strength come from, my strength comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.
