The golf analogy again if I may. We are now a bit 'above par', meaning the level or even course we have seen lately is seeing a few hazzards and causing a not-so-desired score. Becky has a rash that could be related to the Graft vs. Host disease OR it simply could be something else, could be minor. We, of course, were told to come in immediately to see the Docter. And Well, believe it or not, it may be a reaction to the CT scan she had a few days ago. The iodine..the fluid they inject to promote what I call, 'xray visibility', may suddenly be causing this rash..which covers most of her upper body. But, the oddness is, she has had multiple CT scans with this 'glow' fluid injected, but for some reason, this may be the one time her body, (and her donor's stem cells) said, "I think I'll let you know I do not like this". The rash caused itching and some major sleep deprivation. Of course, we have some meds to take care of the rash and we are thankful this rash is probably not related to the Graft vs. Host disease..We will know more in a few days. But again, upon Dr. Synder's exam he did not see this rash related to GVH. We also have a new med to squash the 'lung spots' formerly mentioned in other blog entries...The spots are looking much better, but there is one that needs a little more help toward the exit door.
So, the visit to City Of Hope was unexpected, but absolutely necessary. They gave her some meds while she was there..which took about 4 to 5 hours. We are so grateful to have this care...SO thankful! We saw a nurse who was so caring and loving while Becky was hospitalized..It was good to see her. She loves to sing in her church...She is so smart and so compassionate.
May God keep His ever watchful eye upon you..
Much Love...Celebrate life...Keep a song in your heart.
Bill, Becky & Abbey

We are celebrating God's care over you! Heard in SS that God is scouring the earth looking for a situation where he can show his power to the earth, and it brought you and my dad to mind. He said we turn to man and ourselves when we can, but God is waiting for us to turn to Him, so he can show his power. You and my dad are walking miracles, Praise God for His Power!!
ReplyDeleteSorry for these blips! I agree totally with Christine's analysis.
ReplyDeleteYou are special to show God's power. Bill Bless you!. Abbey, as you mature as a woman you are seeing true love in your parents' devotion through these trials.
