The Journey Continues:Short Update

Yesterday's chemo went well.  Just as always the waiting was the worst part.  This time was not so bad.  It was just blood work and chemo but they will not start or even order the chemo until the blood work comes back.  We have learned to bring stuff to pass the time.  We read, look at facebook and Richard sleeps!

The blood work came back really good.  His counts are still holding good or better!  Next time will be an all day thing starting with a pet scan, than chemo, IVIG infusion and than see a doctor.

Your prayers keep us going! Thanks!!!

Psalm 17:6

New International Version (NIV)

⁶ I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;
    turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.

The Journey Continues:Update on Chemo

This will be a really short update but wanted to let you know that Richard's chemo went really well.  He even got through sooner than they had said.  So far no side effects.  The nurse told us about one young man that was taking it, after two bone marrow transplants failed, and he is remission right now.  That gives us hope.  Praying for the same with Richard.  His blood work up looked pretty good.  His white blood count was up to 9100 which is the best I have seen it probably since his transplant in May of 2011.

Thanks again for all the prayers!!

1 Kings 8:28

New International Version (NIV)

²⁸ Yet give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy, Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day.
