Day +85

Another post from home in Lewisburg. Everything with my appt. on Tuesday went well, I didn't get sick from the IVIG and my doctor gave me the ok to come home for a few days because I do so much better when I'm at home, I get out and walk, I eat more, and I just have a much more positive attitude. I have another apt. on Tuesday when I am having my 100 day bone marrow biopsy done which is HUGE. To all the prayer warriors out there please pray that I am 100% donor again, I was after 30 days but they check this every time the do a BMB, that I have no leukemia cells, and that everything looks good. Even though Mindy and I are big PSU football fans we have to give a shout out to Lenny (thanks for the t-shirts we love them) and all the USC fans out there. FIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Check out the dome piece, can't tell quite yet what color it will be but I am definitely sprouting.

O god when I have food let me remember the hungry, when I have work help me to remember the jobless, when I have a warm home help me to remember the homeless, when I am without pain help me to remember those who suffer. And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion make me concerned enough to help by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.

Prayer seems to be a powerful thing. I'm glad it's working so well. I'm sure having the comforts of home makes you feel so much better. It's great to hear that's where you're staying! Hopefully we'll all get to see you soon. Keep us posted.

Your dome piece looks just like mine. Great look and women love it. Jay & I have tickets for game 5 of the World Series so I hope it goes that far. When you feel up to it, how about you and Mindy going to a Fkyers hockey game? Let me know. Go Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, and PSU.

The Fkyers are an under-6 hockey team in Reamstown.:>) I really meant the Flyers.
