Going as planned... I guess!!

Sorry for the late update from Fridays appointment but sometimes it takes me a day or two to digest all they say... Basically things are going just as they planned... Lance has more GVH so isn't feeling as well and is uncomfortable.. but he says all for a good cause! They decided not to take away the rest of the anti-rejection meds just yet as his liver counts were up and he has quite a bit more GVH. They did need to add blood pressure meds. as one of the side effects of the rejection med. is raised blood pressure and since he can't go off yet they need to add it for now. Lance has his first cold since transplant so we would sure appreciate prayers for protection from to much GVH and that he will get over the cold without any complications. Wisdom for us to know when to call the doctors if needed and wisdom for the doctors in controlling the amount of GVH. All of this seemed kind of like a set back to us at first..... going off steroids makes him more tired again and the GVH just doesn't make him feel to hot... but hopefully it all will be temporary and will do the job on the cancer cells. His platelets were in the normal range for the first time in like 9 months so that is exciting! Thank you all for all your prayers in what seems like a loooong journey..... seems like the closer you get to the end of something the longer it seems to take.... but we know in a the long run the end is worth it. I 'm really proud of Lance, he keeps pushing himself and looking up.... He wants so much to get back to work....for a guy who just loves his job and the people there and wants to feel like he is contributing it is not easy to wait.... praying he will get the ok to go back even part time soon, then he can have someone else to pick on!! Lance said again this week, "Life is good!" Thank you all for your prayers! --Penny
