"Just the Facts"-- We pushed a bit today and were able to be up and around, then crashed the rest of the day. But it was worth the push. Infusion tomorrow, yea!
We visited some dear friends today, and because we have known them so long and so well it was like we had seen them every day for years. Some friends are just like that! It was a special time and meant a lot.
We have been so blessed by prayers, and friend's words of encouragement and genuine care and concern. It is overwhelming at times, and brings a random smile to our faces at other times. I think the most important part is that each one makes some type of connection and lets you know you are not alone going through this challenge. That support provides strength and encouragement to carry on, even when it gets hard to do just that.
We were recently informed that B's donor had supplied some blood for testing prior to the actual donation of super cells, so that all kinds of potential problems could be eliminated. Then we were also told that the donor would come back a second day and provide a second batch of super cells to have in storage in case they would need them or if some hiccup occurred in the process, they would be there. We were amazed and touched by this act of going above and beyond the normal request. The bible would call this person a "second miler". Someone that doesn't just go the requested distance, but goes well beyond what is called or asked for. I don't know about you but I want to be known as a second miler!
Until next time.
Hopeful Believer
