Going home!
Well, this morning we received the news that my blood counts are up to the level that we could finally say that “engraftment” of the new bone marrow has taken place!  So, unless an issue like spiking a fever or such comes up, I will be able to go home tomorrow.  God has answered our prayers beyond what we expected and we are so happy.  The next big goal will be to get through to the 100 day mark without complications. I’ll still need to be very careful due to low immunity and will be visiting the cancer clinic 2 or 3 times a week.  
We are so thankful for our wonderful family and Christian community that we are blessed to be part of and for all that you have done for our whole family. Through you we experienced the hands and feet of Jesus caring for us. Please keep us in your prayers .  Following is a passage that has become very real to us, especially these last few months and we commend it to you now.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice! Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.  The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:4-7

    Wow! What a prayer-answering God we serve! May He continue to bless the means and Sandy, may you continue to feel that underneath are His everlasting (never-failing) arms! Also for your whole family, the same wish is true.
