Day +194 (Revised)

Nick's test results came back good. His Doctors have agreed to start weening him off cyclosporin and a few of his other meds. This process will take about 8 weeks. After he has been off these meds, they will test his immune systems. All indications say that he is making good progress and is well on his way to that first year hurdle.

On another note, it has been a real hard weekend for the BMT unit down in Cincinnati. On Friday, Sandy's friend Kelly let her know that her son Troy lost his battle with his disease. Troy had been admitted for his BMT approximately 2 months before Nick.

Yesterday, Kari McSwiney, a 21 year old BMT patient lost her battle with Leukemia. She was admitted one year ago for her BMT.

Finally, Baby Andrew Akin lost his battle with HLH. Andrew had come to Cincinnati for his third BMT. First indication was that the third one finally was working. He got his transplant about one month after Nick. Recently, he has had some compilations. This family has another son Matthew that has just started the BMT process. He is day +8. Matthew has the same disease as Andrew. I cant imagine how this family is staying focused on all the things the caregiver must do to have a successful transplant.

*** One of the other BMT family's in Cincinnati made this great YouTube video of Andrew. Attached is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC8Xfc2dDtQ
(fyi, tha family decorated his room like a boat. they called his room (boat) the Merry Marrow. The song is perfect.)*****

Needless to say, we are extremely thankful for the blessings God has graced Nick and our family with. All the families that we got to know, have lost their battle. Nick continues to stand tall in his battle, defeating all the challenges, and has done so with minimal pain and discomfort. We have said many times before that God is great. I'm not sure great is the right word. I'm not even sure there is a word in dictionary for what he is and what he has done for our family. For right now I am just going to say, God is everything to our family.

Dear Dan; My heart sank at the news of all the losses over this weekend. I can scarcely imagine the sadness of those who have battled for such a long time. My deepest sympathies and my most heartfelt condolences go out to those who must now come to grips with their losses. I guess the only consolation that really makes sense to me is that absent from the body is present with the Lord. The Lord must have needed some special angels, and called his weary children home. It is my prayer that the passage of time, and the warmth of loving memories will soon ease the sorrow of all of this loss. I continue to lift each of these families up to the Lord, and I also continue to praise Him for his many blessings for Nick and your family. I also continue to ask for guardian angels to surround you all, and to shield you from any negative results of the weening process. My thoughts and my prayers are surely with you...tonight and always. Love in Christ, ~Annette

Dear Dan, Sandy, Nick, and Family; what a BEAUTIFUL tribute to a lovely child! Thank you for including the link. I continue in my prayers for those who have suffered the loss of their dear loved ones, and also continue to praise the Lord for Nick's great strength and his continued good reports. Stand strong, Nick; and keep up the fight. Your road to complete recovery gets a little shorter every day...and your new bone marrow cells grow just a bit more, and strengthen you just a little more with each and every day. Asking the Lord to surround you with guardian angels, and to keep you safe and healthy. My love in Christ, ~Annette

Dear Dan, Sandy, Nick, and Family; The sunshine came streaming through the windows of our Uniontown home, and I was reminded of the passages of the scriptures that speek of the glory of the Lord. My mind also goes to Mathew 5:16, which says : Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and Glorify your Father, which is in heaven. This just touched me in such a special way, because I sense that the Lord is doing such a mighty work in NIck, and that there is such a powerful testimony in all the Lord is doing here! You truly do live this passage of scripture, and you have touched those of us who have prayed with you througout these difficult times. Just wanted to pass on my thanks for your willingness to share, and send you all my very best wishes for a bright and beautiful day. You remain in my thoughts and prayers. Love in Christ, ~Annette

Dear Nick; I sure do hope tonight finds you having a wonderful time with your family. I continue to hold you close in my thoughts and prayers, and am continuing to ask the Lord for guardian angels to protect you and keep you while the doctors begin weening you off of the meds. I look foreward to the day when we all celebrate your great Victory over this illness! Thought I would send you my best wishes, and a written hug...and someday I will actually share a real one with you. Wondering how Lori is doing with her battle, and sending my very best wishes to her, too. Just wanted to let all of you know that we who care for you are still out here, still praying, and still believing for God's great healing. Love in Christ, ~Annette

Dear Nick; I chedk this blog almost every day, and try to keep up with all the latest news. I know that you must be really busy with your school work these days, and I just wanted to send you my best wishes. I hope all is well with you, and with your entire family. I think a lot about how this has affected each of you, and I still stand amazed at the way you have all held on to your faith in the Lord, and your love for each other, and taught those of us who are following your blog what true strength is all about. I just wanted to say that I continue to keep you all close in my thought and my prayers, and that I am wishing you a bright and beautiful day, and many more to follow. With each passing day, you are SOOO much closer to a complete victory. GOD IS GOOD!! Love in Christ, ~Annette

Dear NIck; With the beginning of a new season, the thought came to me that you, too, are entering a whole new season in your life. You are now in a season of healing. I am so very thankful to the Lord for his continued healing, and for your continued health. I hope today found you and your family enjoying the bright and beautiful sunshine, and the crisp, clean Fall air. I wish you all an evening filled with rest and refreshment, and a day ahead filled with the Lord's richest blessings. Love in Christ, ~Annette

Dear Nick and Family; I said a prayer for you today, And asked the Lord above...to circle you in sunshine, and shower you with love. I asked for guardian angels to see you through the day...and go before each step you take, all along the way. I thanked Him for my Savior, and I thanked Him for His love, And I thanked Him for the gift of you...a blessing from above. So if you fee a presence, and wonder who is there...just know it's guardian angels, who came to answer prayer. Wishing you all a bright and beautiful morning, and a day filled with the Lord's richest blessings. Wrapping this up in a great big hug! Love in Christ, ~Annette

To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself.
