We have just returned from Emory Clinic and had a good report on blood counts. However, do you remember in the last post I talked about GVHD. Ok it caught me. I have severe case in my left eye, and mild in right eye. Stefanie took me to cornea specialist yesterday and we have lots of meds. Damage has been done but Dr. Hayes thinks he can repair it with proper meds.
Dr. Khoury also ran PCR/FISH test today. This will tell if any leukemia cells have come back in blood and marrow. Pray that I will be clear.
My iron level was tested again today also. The results will come in next week on all of these. I will post and let you know how things are going.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my blog and praying for me.
So many of you have been so amazing with your cards, phone calls and emails. Friends are so special and you really realize it in times like these.
God is so good and I want everyone to share in the joy that he provides for us if we will just accept His Son, Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Yep just that easy. The walk of life may not always be easy but you will never be alone. That is a wonderful truth, and oh so comforting.
I have to be limited where I go, therefore have not been able to return to my church. I was able to attend for 3 Sundays then I got sick. That took care of those trips. But I long to return to worship with my friends.
I will write again soon

Tuesday April 20th
We haven't posted in awhile, but everything is going great! I am posting for myself today which is unusual, but I justed wanted to let everyone know how much I have appreciated the prayers and support for me and my family.
Can you believe it has been a year since I entered Emory Hospital and started treatment for this dreaded disease. And it has been almost 8 months since transplant. I still have a few issues going on and of course GVHD is always lerking around the corner. However, Dr. Khoury checks me out every month and adjusts meds accordingly.
God has been so faithful to us in so many ways I can't begin to name them all. Sometimes we go through trials to test our faith and sometimes to just bring us closer to him. Which ever we need always pay attention and Praise Him for the good and bad. That is hard to do, I know!!!!
Tomorrow will be mine and Sam's 33rd anniversary!!!! It is wonderful to be married to your best friend, soul mate, and great Father of your children. I thank God for him and especially in these last 2 years, what a trooper he has been. A caregiver like you wouldn't believe. Sam I love you so very much!!!!
I'm going to clinic on Friday and will give report after I get back. Big Praise is that my iron level has already come down alot.
