IV..with a twist.

IV at City Of Hope...A big bunch of antibodies infused, though this time we were told the complex elixir was originally in powder form and had to be mixed and stirred with the liquid components thus completing the final compound or med. We were told a few patients had not absorbed this particular mix of gamma globulins as well as the 'all liquid' med. Some had abnormal reactions. Well, Becky did OK. She did get a little warm and red in the face which can happen, and her abdomen did have some pain afterward, but all did come to a calm conclusion or result. She was tired from the 3 to 4 hour drip but again, glad all was eventually smooth. She is still taking a small pharmacy. The steriods, the other immunosuppressant drugs have their effects, both very beneficial and sometimes motor-dibilitating. But we know she needs them. Must see TV, well, her life is 'must-have' meds, for now. But we also know this will one day not be the case..We realize we have made strides and continue to do so. We know many of you are making great strides in your stories, and yes, everybody does have a story. Thousands in Japan have a story..thousands have a story to tell for generations to come. May we pray for their recovery, both physical and emotional..
We thank you all for reading this blog, many of you have told us of your reading it, and it means so much to us. Becky is boosted by each time someone relays this to her. In closing, may the spirit of the Lord guide you and keep you.

And never forget to celebrate life!

Love,

Bill, Becky and Abbey..
