Dear Friends
and Family,
Writing this
letter reminds me of how much people love us. The encouraging cards keep coming.
The texts, e-mails, phone calls, (I'm really not up to face book), and my pastor stopping
by for a visit. All of these ways to communicate, "We love you and we are
praying for you!" Well guess what?
I actually believe God has answered prayer. I was in the hospital for my
transplant for only 2 1/2 weeks after being told to expect 3 1/2 to 5 weeks. My
good blood counts have come back at an astonishing rate (according to my
doctors). I have not had any mouth sores or very much of the (you know what I'm
talking about....don't make me spell it out) yes that stuff didn't go on as
expected for abnormal bodily functions.
Marcie: I am so proud of my husband, for the courage and endurance with which he has faced the last 13 months. Both of us praise the Lord who has enabled us to get through this one day at a time. And we cannot put into words how thankful we are for all of you, the body of Christ, who have been His hands and feet. We don't know what the future brings but we know that God is going to be with us every step of the way.
Don and
Marcie
