Day +33

GREAT NEWS TODAY!!!!!! I got a call from my doctor around 3 today letting me know that my cytogenetics came back and I am officially 100% donor. Praise God for this awesome news. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow afternoon, just my regular Tuesday visit. I will get my blood counts taken and then just have a few minutes with the doc, so she can look me over and talk about some of this news and anything coming up. Nothing else is really new, just really stoked about that news we got today.

When a person's steps follow the Lord, God is pleased with his ways. if he stumbles, he will not fall, because the Lord holds his hand.
Psalm 37:23-24
