My leukemia's back.

Hey, Rachel, thinking of you.

 

[donrae]

Isaiah 40:1 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I'm praying for you Rachel. When my hubby was in the hospital for 6 weeks, very sick, and I was told to get our affairs in order, because things looked very bleak, I clung to this verse. This verse gave me the strength to continue putting one foot in front of the other, trusting the unknown path our Lord was taking us down, and waiting on Him to guide, strengthen, and comfort.

Thank you so much, I love this verse.

No eagles yesterday, maybe I just didn't have the eye for them, or they were elsewhere. I'm above where they cruise, so trying to spot them against the hillside across the river can be tricky.

Still sleep deprived. I swear, I got more sleep when my kiddos were newbornes! But, last dose of chemo yesterday. If all goes to (my) plan, LAST DOSE EVER. So, I'm planning on availing myself of some of the varied selection of sleep aides and having a much, much better night. Starting about 8pm

. I try not to think about how much better I'd sleep with my honey.......

Did notice the fatigue hitting yesterday. Walking around our unit, 11 laps is a mile. I'm usually good for 5 laps, three times a day. Yesterday, on the last round, 2 was when the body started saying "time to sit down". So, shorter trips now, but still up and about.

So, a day of rest today, tomorrow is my stem cell transplant. They tell me the transplant itself is pretty anticlimactic, but I can tell you those cells will be thoroughly prayed over.


Thank you all so much for hanging out here and posting the pictures, videos, quotes, etc. Boredom is a factor, one can only watch so much television and sometimes reading novels is hard to focus on with the chemo brain. I so appreciate the love and support you all offer so freely.

8 PM ? Isn't that normal bed time? My mother used to say that I was transfused with rooster blood - up at dawn and to bed at dusk. Tomorrow is the day. Lots of prayers being laid upon those stem cells. Glad that you are up and about.

I am thinking positive thoughts for you!. I sent a special one out for your donor too.
I'm praying for you.

Rachel, do you mind if I put you on my church prayer list for tomorrow? You and your donor are in my prayers. Do the cells get harvested tomorrow, or is it already a done deal?

 

[bluesub]

Prayers for a good day tomorrow - rest now.

 

[TXchickmum]

-prayers for you (and those stem cells)!

 

[seminolewind]

Prayers sent for you, Rachel. Have a good day tomorrow.
I know it must be real boring in the hospital for periods at a time.

 

[FridayYet]

Hooray for new stem cells - we wish you the best!

Prayers for you and your donor. Hope you're resting well tonight.
