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
