Update...Doing GREAT!

Sorry for the gap in posts.....I have been away on a business trip to Florida for 3 weeks!! I am so glad to be HOME! It was hard leaving Eric and the kids but I couldn't get out of this business trip. Eric is doing so good and we are so thankful to the Lord.

He went to Texas again in September for his follow up appointments at MD Anderson Cancer Center/ his bone marrow transplant doctors. They said he is a miracle and they are so happy to see him doing so well. They still don't like how thin he is but other than that he is good. We received his results from the bone marrow biopsy they did there in Texas, Eric is still 100% grafted with his donors marrow!!!! We are so thankful to his donor and the Lord for this blessing! We are excited to meet his donor in another year!

Eric has been busy as ever at work but I am so glad he was able to put in for a better case load to manage so that has decreased his stress a ton!!! We continue to feel that these small and big blessings we keep receiving are from the Lord and we are so grateful to him. We often talk about how last year at this time Eric was in the hospital in the middle of his bone marrow transplant back in Texas fighting for his life. We didn't know if we would ever see home again, if things would ever be normal again. I am happy to say that the journey continues and our journey of hope and been just that ... continued hope and faith in the Lord.

Life is a constant struggle and battle but day by day we move onto the next few steps of our journey and with it brings love, peace, hope and a new found love for life and family. We know miracles happen we have seen so many, we also know these things did not simply happen by chance but by the Lords loving hands whom is watching over us. We love and appreciate all of you our friends, family, neighbors, co-workers for your continued love and support!
