7 month update!!

Once again we have had trouble getting on the blog..... hopefully we have it all figured out now!! So frustrating..... Anyway the past two weeks have seen Lance having to go back on another medicine for a throat infection, but we are thankful it is all cleared up now!! Iowa City appointment yesterday, they are going to try and lower his steroids a little more. So we would appreciate prayer that Lance will not be to tired and that the GVH doesn't flare up. Doctors have to get him off the steroids before they can try and lower the other meds. After the last flare up of GVH Lance is still on lots of meds. and many are hard on his body but he needs to be on them. So our prayer is that they can get him off soon and that Nathan's donor cells and Lance's body will get along together!! We asked yesterday how Lance is doing for where he is post transplant, which is 7 months today!! They said that he is doing above average!! But when Lance commented that he guessed that he is pretty much out of the woods now as far as the bad stuff that could happen...... They said No right away.... it is still important to be careful... that they don't start to breathe a LITTLE easier until after one year.....they did tell us it is a long journey........ but we are so thankful for all the Lord has done, and for all the prayers going out for Lance, and how well he has done so far.... The Lord brought the words of our blog verse to mind, specifically " I KNOW THE PLANS" were the ones that kept going over and over in my mind until I finally realized God was telling me.... "You know what.... I KNOW THE PLANS.... SO YOU DON'T HAVE TOO!!" What a comfort!! Lance's blood type has now switched over to Nathan's isn't that cool!! And the last test showed NO CANCER! ! So we pray for continued healing and protection and thank the Lord for all of you..... for all your love and care for us !! Oh and so exciting... Cory and Jamie are expecting this week! Our 8th grandchild!! Praying for a quick and safe delivery! ----Penny
