Day 91-Last Round Before Transplant

Today went really fast because I had so much to do. First off I had to drop my puppy at the Animal Clinic to get neutered. Blessing knew he was doing something very serious. He wasn't playful like he has been the two times when I drop him off at groomers. I wanted to cry. Poor little baby boy. Once I got him settled there I ran by office to do a few things then run out to look at work orders for proposals. Had lunch with a great Manager and friend. I really am so thankful for my friends, they are helping me through this time with encouragement. Shortly after l had a Doctors appoint where we started my 5th round of chemo before the stem cell transplant. I also got a bag of Zometa, CBC, and met with Dr. A. He told me this would be the last round before stem cell transplant and that after this round I will be in Dr Shah's hands at MD Anderson until the whole transplant process is over and she has me go back to him for maintenance. I finished up there at 4:30 and went home where Roland had just picked up our baby boy from the animal clinic. Blessing is pretty groggy still and he just wants to lay around and sleep. All in all it was a very successful day today.
Lord-
Thank you for this glorious day. Thank you for guiding me through the day. I pray for my friends that are fighting this battle with cancer.
For Dawn Jonas who is doing her stem cell transplant at this time in San Antonio. Heal her body completely from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. Be with her and comfort her. Be with her family also comforting and making sure everything is taken care of during this whole process.
Heal and adjust Jo Edwards enzymes to a completely normal level. We know you have healed her and thank you in advance for lining her body up fully.
Please bring Roland's sugar level down and help him with his will power in eating the foods that will get h to a normal level.
I love You, praise You and ask You in Your precious Son's name...Amen. ❤

Day 90 - Getting Ready for Stem Cell Transplant

I have been so busy with all that I have to do before my transplant process that I have neglected updating my blog and I am sorry for that.
Since I last blogged I finished my 4th round of chemo and tomorrow will be starting my 5th and final round before my stem cell transplant. I will also finish my last round of Revlamid on April 30th because I have to be off Revlamid for at least two weeks before they can collect any of my stem cells. I will start the process of running tests and prepping on May 6th and continue up til May 20th when they will collect my stem cells over a week. After I finish collection I have to rest for a week which I will get to go home and also get to go to graduation .... Yay! I have been hoping I would get to see Haylee walk across and graduate especially because its on my birthday also. She is excited that we all get to be together.
Our dear friend Mark has graciously offered us one of his units to use during the 8 weeks. We are so grateful for his thoughtfulness and generosity. We will make the unit ready completely both for my stay and for the next renter for the unit. I can't express how grateful I am and this also shows how God takes care if everything. I have been stocking up on items that I will need and not be able to run out to the store and get once I am released from hospital and after I go home. I will have to stay at home away from the public and confined to my house. I have so much to do before May 6th. I am falling asleep as I write this so I will go for now and try to write tomorrow too. I took a.Benadryl to help with the allergic reaction from the Revlamid and now am very sleepy. Thank you for all of your prayers and support.
Lord,
Thank You for Your grace and mercy. Thank You for always having my back. Thank You for leading and guiding me in the way You want me to go. I praise You and give You all the glory. Amen
