Hospital Appointment

Everything went well at the appointment yesterday. Mom had lots of tests done to make sure she's still healthy for the stem cell transplant, along with a bone marrow test to make sure the cancer is still gone.

The doctor said that if everything checks out right then mom could head back to the hospital for her transplant towards the end of next week. We probably won't know for sure until the beginning of next week.

On Tuesday we're having a family meeting at Northwestern to talk about the transplant and for us to ask any questions.

Other than those things, our mom is still doing well. Her blood tests are coming back with great results, she's gaining strength and energy, and she's getting out of the house more while still being smart about staying healthy.

She loves you all and thanks you for all your posts and love.

  2. Praying for the continued strength and healing, a great week of family and fellowship. God is in control when there seems to be no way...as we must step back and watch His blessings be and work. So thankful for His faithfulness. Watch Him all around you in the faces of your family and friends. Love to you and all, Lynn
