I thought I’d check in and let you all know what’s going on.
The pain in my arms is mostly gone. It has turned into achy shoulders and shaky hands. But I am improving a little every day.
I was at the hospital for a control yesterday and everything is looking good. My blood is healthy and my liver function is improving with every check up. The big news yesterday was that my blood / marrow is now 99+% from the donor. I now have two different DNAs in my body, one in my meat, one in my blood. That is exactly what is supposed to happen and I’m very happy about it. I’m just a little disappointed that the Brian Howard marrow rolled over and died so quickly – I would like to think that he put up at least some fight. I guess I understand though – we have worked hard to break it down and kill it over the past year and a half.
So that’s where I stand now. Lots of DNA, still a little pain. As always your prayers and encouragement are greatly appreciated.
a sobering thought, that DNA should be exchanged ….so quickly.
From what I’m hearing, it sounds like it will not be able to overcome the heart.
Cheer up, the creator of the universe is in you (and you in him), and nothing will be able to change that.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rom 8,38-,9
