Still hard to believe one year ago Becky had the stem cell transplant..and now she has to have this mucky-muck test..a procedure to check the bone marrow progress, gotta be knocked out for awhile..then get draw out a little marrow and see if it's being nice..Plus she has to have lung scan, breathing tests and more..A long day but necessary. Life has been somewhat drama-less lately and we are so grateful. She did have to have this huge IV drip last Sunday, an immune booster concoction, but we know this is way it is..When a certain immune system marker drops below a certain level, then this big bad-boy IV has to enter the room and make it's presence. Seems to happen every month or so. But again, it's OK..we know it's just part of the journey..But as mentioned, the last week or so has been calm..
WE hope you have had some calmness as well. May you have perseverance to withstand the blitzkrieg of trials this life can sometimes throw at you. I think of it like the tennis ball machine, those balls just keep coming hard and you gotta hit'em back, or dodge'em with precision, or slow the machine down, or just cut that dang thing off.. ain't that life..hit back, dodge it, slow it down, or just stop what your doin..and perhaps reload..but whatever you do..celebrate it...celebrate life!
Keep us in your prayers..Pray this ONE year exam will be stellar..the bone marrow will be a platelet producing factory..and pray all other levels will be normal or at least in the normal arena..
Being at peace can take some effort, but try and try again...and love thy neighbor along the way...
Much love..God Bless you..
Bill and Becky
