Day 189 after Transplant

I spoke with Pam, Dr. Uy's Nurse Coordinator about the final results of the tests from April 13. WONDERFUL NEWS!

The Bone Marrow Biopsy showed no blasts and  no leukemia cells.  The stem cells are all donor cells. The DNA tests showed 100% XY cells......all from my male donor. There are no XX cells (which would mean female cells from me). The transplant continues to be a success.....100%. There couldn't be better news. Thanks be to God!!!!
 
I rejoice and remember Who is responsible and am so thankful. I read in Psalm 40: 1-3 "I waited patiently for the Lordl He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord." and Titus 3:5 "He saved us (me), not because of righteous things we (I)had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us (me) through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit"

Six months after transplant I am signing off.  I pray that you will all remember my witness to Him who is responsible for this healing story of His grace.

Continuing to stand firmly in Him and witnessing as His faithful servant, Ellen
