Closer..

Yes, perhaps closer to discharge. Maybe, maybe in about 4 or 5 days. Just gotta make sure the new med is doing and will do it's thing, and we believe it is. Becky ate good today, she had a good appetite,more than the norm...this is good. The Dr. has her changed over to almost all oral meds, which of course is absolutely necessary before any discharge can be realized. Most all the old friends/meds are back...boo..The predisone, the tacrolimus and more..But it is what it is..She will do what it takes to cross the next 'line in the sand' toward a stronger, healthier Becky. This is not easy, no one said it would be..but we know living as we were living/existing before the stem cell transplant was also not easy. We did what probably 100% of all humans suffering from this disease (myelofibrosis) would do...listen to what curative path was available and then agree to walk it...We trusted and still trust the Lord has His hand in every minute detail. We do. And even when our trust was/is weak, our faith was/is faltering..countless others, including the Lord Jesus Himself, intereceded and still intercede for us.
Others, and the Lord knew what we needed in the valley...and still know what we need in the sometimes deep abyss of uncertainty..
OK, lighter note: We had a nice time the three of us on Saturday..this is always needed! We watched the classic movie, "The Music Man"..a classic indeed. I tell ya when little Ronny Howard sings "shapoopy, shapoopy" (sp?)...ya can't help but feel good about life in that small moment...and when that band goes marchin' down the main street of River City Iowa and everyone is getting along, well that is indeed a warm and fuzzalicious moment...the three of us absorbed it in that hospital room, the warm moment of just getting along, just being together..
Hope you have some warm and fuzzalicious moments..

Celebrate life! Becky thanks you all for your love, care, prayer and support!
