Apr 13, Day +74 Well being to being well

"Just the Facts"--  Good good day, got voice back,  showing some peach fuzz on the head and overall feeling some energy.

I woke up this morning to a sound I have not heard from sometime.  It was the voice of someone I know and love and haven't heard in a while.  B got his voice back.  It happened overnight without any sign or fanfare and really, he didn't even notice it.  I did!  It was a very welcome sound and gave me a warm, comforted feeling deep in my heart all day long.  Piece by piece we are getting B back.  He has gained 10 pounds, from the low of 132 to 142 today.  That 10 pounds has done wonders to his over all well being.  He can walk more, think more, eat more, and over all participate in life a bit more.  Of course we won't stop there, but it is amazing to see this transformation with just 10 pounds.  The other piece of good news, one which B has been waiting for with earnest, is the arrival of peach fuzz on his head.  B is so happy and excited about this.  He doesn't see what other guys see in a shaved head.  The fuzz is random and hard to see but with glasses and maybe some backlite it's there.

We got platelets today as the counts still are roaming a bit, but nothing could stop us today.  B had energy and was a chatter box all day, and ended up losing his voice again, but that was because he wore his tired old voice box out.  It was really good to see a glimpse of the old B coming back.  He is on his way to being well.  There are many things that all of us are learning through this experience, some are simple and some are very deep and complex.  B shared with me that he is learning to "Trust in the Lord"  sounds simple, right?  But there are many complexities to doing just such a thing and yet, it can be very simple.  I am sure he will share more of this with me later.  I have found B to be very profound at times, when he shares his thoughts.  And there have been a lot of those all floating around in his mind for the last four months.  I am excited to see and hear the things he has learned and thought about and for the new life that seems to be budding forth. 
Until next time,
Hopeful Believer.
