No longer an out-patient!

Dad has been continuing to recuperate nicely at home. He has been going to Vancouver twice a week for checkups for two months now. At his appointment today he learned that he doesn't have to make these trips anymore; what great news!

Dad has gone for some tests the past few weeks and next week Tuesday he has an appointment with the bone marrow transplant doctor to get the results of these tests. These should tell us what has happened since the transplant and if things are moving in the right direction. I will update the blog again when we get these results.

It also looks like next week Dad may be able to have his Hickman line removed which is a good step in the right direction as well.

Dad still tires easily and doesn't always feel good but we are thankful that he has been able to recuperate at home these last few months. We hope and pray that the test results will be good news but in all things we put our trust in our Heavenly Father.

It has been and will continue to be a long road for Dad and Mom. Some days are better than others. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.

We are thankful that things have gone so well this far. We pray that it may continue to be so. It is a long road and we pray that the days that are not so well may become farther apart.

How good to hear Ed doesn't have to go to hospital so often anymore. We hope the results you get next week will be good and that he keeps doing&feeling better bit by bit. We keep you in our thoughts continuously!

Hallo Ed en Flo.

Fijn te horen dat het goed gaat.
Wachten duurt lang, maar het wordt meestal wel beloont.
We blijven aan jullie denken.

Ebo en Truida.
