Kicking Cancer's Butt

My Pawpaw said it perfectly, "We are in the home stretch."

These past few weeks mom has been fighting her cancer head on and has received her bone marrow transplant.  She had two days of strong intense chemo that has completely wiped out her immune system and then received her bone marrow transplant that took less than an hour to get.

Mom will recover from her transplant at home and go to the doctor everyday so they can monitor her recovery.  The recovery process will be slow and there will be bumps along the way, but the power of prayer is an amazing healing tool.  Mom had to be readmitted to the hospital for the weekend, but now has been released.  The chemo has now taken mom's hair from her, but on a positive note her stem cells are beginning to graph.

Keep the prayers coming and I will keep you informed on how mom is doing.
