Well, hi folks! I have not been very diligent about keeping my Blog up to date lately. But I figured that you were probably not interested in my fevers, rashes, and gastrointestinal issues.
We received some good news today. Psalm 37: 7 : "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;"The results of the bone marrow biopsy done on Friday have revealed that my bone marrow is "Clean". This means that there were no residual leukemic cells identified in the sample. This is extremely good news. It doesn't mean that I am in remission or free of cancer, but it does mean that whatever little cells are left in the bone marrow. none of them are the "Bad Guys". We will just see how the white cells grow back. I don't know what else to say other than giving thanks to the Lord and to all of you with your prayers and thoughts.
I know that those of you who have visited me are impressed with my hospital room, the view of the lake and the technology that I continue do some work. Right now, we are getting a down right nasty Chicago thunder storm and I am watching lightening bolts skip across the city. Put all of that aside it is day 49. How many of you think that you might have some challenges believing in Psalm 37:7. It has been difficult, but I knew God was in full control.
With this news, it is simply another waiting game to rebuild my cells and make sure none of those bad guys reappear. I am hoping that I get released somewhere around day 60.
I continue to battle some of the side effects of all the medication not to mention the lingering effect from the chemo (BTW my chemo dosage was 10X compared to the first round. I think they were just warming me up in the first round and then hit me with the nuclear dosage in the second round.
God Bless All of You. Send me a note when you get a chance.
