I had a very down week, last week, waiting on this news and very sick with all of the side effects from the MANY drugs they’ve had me on. (The immuno suppresants, etc…)😔 I cried last Wednesday, and felt very defeated. That would be why you haven’t heard from me… & i felt guilty about not having “enough” faith. Well this past week has found me on my knees many days/nights, and God has given me Peace in this storm. Even after the failure of the transplant was confirmed, today, I don’t feel “defeated”, nor did I cry.  So many of you who knew I was going to be seen today have prayed over me- I know that’s where my strength came from!🥰 

Thank you All!!

So next steps… quitting most of All the meds I’ve been on!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Getting my catheter removed, (keeping port for now) and giving my body a rest, & an opportunity to get me strong again! We will be doing this again, & I am HOPEFUL that 2nd time will be successful!! Dr D says at least 3 mths, (I’m hoping for 4-6mths!!) 😌 He also has 2 “non-related” donors that are both 9/10 matches (a primary & a back up) still praying for a 10/10. I just really want to feel “normal” again. To have strength, & energy, & no nausea!!!! ( I cannot be in the same part of our Home when my family eats hot food)🤢 this morning, I just recently regained my thirst- literally had to force myself to drink anything previously. So that’s a HUGE Praise Report!  I would ask my prayer warriors for my appetite to return, for strength & overall “feeling good” to return!! 

I’ll have more to share later, but until

Then, THANK YOU ALL for your continued support, thru Prayers, Meals, “babysitting”, house cleaning, calls/texts, beautiful cards & gifts!!! We Love you ALL, & my entire Family is very Grateful for YOU!!

Blessings, 

Patti & Family
