It has been 30 days since my transplant! This week I was given Friday and Sunday (today) off from clinic. I have a labs tomorrow and a Bone Marrow Biopsy tomorrow but no clinic ( that means no infusions. I still have my at home antibiotics infusions three times a day. 

I am eating a little more and feeling stronger each day. Mornings are still hard to get going but getting better. 

Today  was my first outing since being discharged ten days ago. We went to the Hope Lodge (where we stayed for three weeks before moving into our  tiny house.   We made friends with a couple ten years older than us who are strong believers. We took a Wild Blueberry pie from our favorite dessert spot – House of Pies and visited outdoors  in the garden area at the Lodge. It was warm but windy and was a wonderful time of fellowship.  Barbara is facing metastatic breast cancer in her brain and is undergoing full brain radiation.  She is totally at peace that God is in control  and will hold her through it all.  Such a witness of faith in the Lord.  If Barbara comes to mind, say a prayer for her.  Earl, her husband, makes two pots of soup once a week for anyone staying  at the Lodge. His ministry to others while being caregiver to Barbara. God is so good to show Himself to us in many different ways, Earl and Barbara being just a couple.  

A bone  marrow biopsy  is no fun. It is pretty uncomfortable-  prayers appreciated   Hopefully it will show no evidence of disease ( the Myelodysplastic syndrome). A week ago I had a PET scan that showed no evidence of disease of the Mantle Cell Lymphoma. The goal of this Transplant is to remove both of those blood cancers from my body. Praising God we are half way there!!!

Love you, Kay
