Nate has been feeling good and working this week. His hemoglobin is not high enough for the stem cell collection next week, so he is receiving a blood transfusion as I write this. Please pray that this transfusion gets his blood counts high enough so the collection can begin on Tuesday. We also begin giving Nate daily injections to boost his stem cell production. None of the adults in our home like shots, maybe we'll have Julia give them. Ha!
Cancer causes fall out and loss in unexpected ways. This week we closed our foster care license. This was a painful decision. Foster care has been part of our family identity for 10 years. We know that perhaps in the future we can provide foster care again, but for now I'm grieving that loss.
It has also come to my attention that I should give some info about the blog. Most mobile devices only show a reader version of the blog. If you scroll to the end of the blog, you can click on the 'view web version.' Then you will see the whole blog. The meal sign up and help sign up links are on the side of the blog. There is also an email subscription link on the side of the blog, so you will get an email notification when the blog is updated.
