Just reaching out to provide an update on Rebekah's progress. Her graft-vs-host disease seems to be starting to turn the corner and her liver enzymes are coming down. The most stubborn enzyme, bilirubin, is finally starting to inch down and went from 2.5 to 2.4 yesterday. Normal limit is below 1.0 so hopefully this will continue to go down. This was the first time her Bilirubin had shown any signs of improvement. They weaned her steroid dose yesterday by 10mg so she is now down to 50mg per day. She will continue with two visits each week for the foreseeable future for monitoring. She has two more IV infusions (Zemaira) to receive. The hope is that they can continue to work her off of steroids over time.

We thank you for your continued prayers and well wishes and feel blessed that we are on the other side of the transplant. We pray that her progress will continue. With spring here, Rebekah has been able to cautiously attend outdoor events to watch her children engage in sport (track and soccer). This has done her heart good; not being able to see our kids play has been so very hard on her. She had not been to a sporting event since last August. 

We continue to say prayers of thanksgiving for all of those who continue to pray for us and help us in so many different ways. This journey continues and we are steadfast in seeing her restored to full health. Prayers continue for all those who are sick and suffering.

Including a picture of our children Breanna (12) and Liam (10). Life does not stop and we are so thankful for their strength and resilience. We pray they will be continually blessed with his grace, protection, and strength. 

We Adore You, O Christ, We Thank You, We Praise You, and We Bless You, Because by Your Cross You Have Redeemed the World
