All Clear!

After all my tests, my team of doctor’s officially declared that I am healthy (ironic?) and approved to begin HSCT for my MS.

I had a pretty rough morning battling a heavy dose of fatigue. All of the planning to get to this point may have caught up with me. Or, it could be just MS. Thankfully, we had two hours between appointments to rest back at our apartment. Mike’s comfort food and some time to read and relax was the best medicine to get me back up to full power. I believe it was no coincidence that today’s Jesus Calling was a reminder of what we both needed, PEACE!

Back at the apartment, Mike took a much needed nap (even got into his pj’s) after managing ME (mega high maintenance) and his full time job (yes, working remotely). He then cooked another fabulous meal full of fresh veggies, stepped in as my trainer for a good workout, washed the dishes (by hand) and did a load of laundry. Yep, he is a ROCKSTAR!

So, that brings us to tomorrow. Chemotherapy starts at 1:30pm (CST). We appreciate your thoughts and prayers! It feels so good to know that we have an army of supporters cheering us on!! LET’S DO THIS!!

  6. Praying for you both. I hope my words will be half as encouraging as your blog has been for me. You have an amazing gift for writing. Tonight I am praying specifically for the chemo to do it’s work with minimal side effects. Praying for good rest & strength for the next day.

  7. Praying for you as the chemo treatments begin. I love this song –

    God of creation
    There at the start
    Before the beginning of time
    With no point of reference
    You spoke to the dark
    And fleshed out the wonder of light

    And as You speak
    A hundred billion galaxies are born
    In the vapour of Your breath the planets form
    If the stars were made to worship so will I
    I can see Your heart in everything You’ve made
    Every burning star
    A signal fire of grace
    If creation sings Your praises so will I

    What does that have to do with Chemo treatments?? Maybe nothing… Or… The God whose words created a hundred billion galaxies is sitting right beside you during your treatment holding your hand. The reason I love that song is that perspective – The God I pray to; the God I yell at; the God I run to; is supremely powerful and yet longs more than anything to be with us. That God of creation will be right beside you through this whole thing!
