Journal entry by Jennifer Lane —
Hey everyone! I know it has been a while since I updated. Dad remains at home and goes to the doctor weekly, alternating between his Dr here in Lincolnton and his Dr in Chapel Hill. Last visit he received good news and on the 22nd he will travel to Chapel Hill to get his Hickman (central line that you can see and hangs down with three ports) out as he has no longer been requiring IV magnesium. He will keep his porta cath which is a central line under the skin which has to accessed and deaccessed. He also will have CT scan to check on his lungs. Cardiology will be seen as well to see if he needs to continue his current cardiac medication regimen. They have a full day of appointments that day from 830 in the AM to 230 in the afternoon. Dad has been enjoying Camp Meeting and we can't tell you how great it has been to have the ones that have been praying for him get to speak life into him in person. He is steadily weaning off of his anti-rejection medication and will continue to do so over the next weeks. He now only has to wear his mask in big crowds (or least that is what he says). Mom says it only took her 40 years to get Daddy to like Camp Meeting!LOL. We are still feeling all the prayers and well wishes. Dad will never be cured totally but as of right now he is making almost all donor cells and all the numbers are where we want them. Relapse could always come at anytime (but so could years of being in the clear) but we choose to focus on the present and the TREMENDOUS blessings and second chances that have been provided for us(we know how much of a MIRACLE that is), God is good all the time, through all things! Thanks for your continued support, we love each and everyone of you.
