The Day is Finally Here!

Uncategorized

IMG_6322When we headed to Houston at the beginning of February, I had no idea how I could make it through another stem cell transplant. It seemed unconquerable and I questioned if I could handle it physically and mentally.

Well, today I’m headed home! We made it through some tough times and now it is home to recover and be back with our babies!

Last week, my doctor let me take a trip to Florida to participate in celebrating my parents’ 50th anniversary. Instead of 2 weeks, we went for 4 nights – but at least it was something and it was beautiful!

Yesterday, my doctor signed me off for 3 months. There are tons of rules and local appointments I’ll need to go to – but I’m free! Tonight I’ll be in my own bed after 4 1/2 months.

Thank you for your loving prayers and words of encouragement. Every single one has been important to me. Love, April

 And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. I Chronicles 29:13

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:37

  1. Hello April,
    Good to hear from you once again but we regret that you are having these problems. You will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers. As you said, perhaps a silver lining is that your stem cells are active and protecting you from the lymphoma. Another silver lining is that medical research is constantly developing new treatments to help out with GVHD and their are probably additional treatments that can be helpful.
    Blessings upon you and your family,
    Uncle William
