December 2010

It's been almost two years since Dad's transplant! Time sure flies! Two years ago at this time Dad and Mom were getting prepared for a long stint at the hospital. That Christmas was a good family time but also a time of anxiousness. We all weren't really sure what to expect or what the future would hold. How great it is to have our Heavenly Father watch over us and know our every concern. "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." Psalm 139: 23

Dad is still taking a lot of medication. The doctor is now very slowly lowering the dose for GVHD, this is a good thing but also has side affects, making Dad's body having to work harder. There are good days and days of not feeling good, loss of appetite and extreme fatigue.
We still have a long road ahead of us and yet we are very thankful that Dad can enjoy the company of his children and granchildren. "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Th 5:16-18

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
