Yeah!!

Good news!!
I had my 100 test result visit yesterday and was told that the bad cells were paralyzed. I asked if it were remission. He said he couldn't call it that but I could, but that they had achieved what they had aimed for. He did say he had a good feeling about me. I'll take that. He told me to listen to my body and not be impatient that I had been to "hell and back". I told him I was sure glad that I had come back. The extreme weakness and fatigue I am feeling he thinks is partly due to my heart acting up again. The cardiologist will review my Holter monitor results and get back with me with recommendations. I will be having blood tests next week. I am not to use any additional IV fluids this week to determine if my kidneys are doing ok with what I am taking in by mouth. If they are I will get my central line out after that.

I appreciate all the prayers, cards and well wishes. They give me daily strength. I feel like I am doing a little better every single day. I just want big better each day. It will be nice when I can at least fix our meals. I am unable to vacuum and dust because of the exposure to dust and dirt. I even have to be in another part of the house when vacuuming is happening. I have to be extremely careful about exposure to any colds, etc because I am allergic to the antiviral medicine they wanted me to take for a year to help protect me from viruses. My gamma globulin is also low so I am at risk because of that too. So I will continue with the best hand washing possible and keep the hand sanitizer by the door for visitors.

I think back over my journey thus far and try to think of the many things I have learned and hope that I am learning what I am suppose to. I am so grateful for the relationship I have built with my Heavenly Father through this. I know he answers prayers and I know He gave me my miracle. I am so very grateful for that. Now to be the daughter He would want me to be! I will be a kinder, more grateful, more thoughtful, more empathetic, more obedient, more loving, more compassionate and working on more patient person.
