OK, so I had my appointment with my bone marrow doctor this week Wednesday as I mentioned in my previous blog where I asked for all your prayers. I want to thank every single person who prayed for me. God has answered our prayers and my transplant is a go!!! I know that it is because of God & your prayers that everything is now clear and there are no problems with the hospital or my insurance.
Upon arriving at the Dr.'s office I had to draw some blood before meeting with her (typical prior to the office visits). What was different this time was that the blood being drawn was an enormous amount. As you can see below, they drew 21 vials of blood. As soon as I saw all those vials my mind immediately starting turning, thinking the only reason she would have this amount of blood work drawn from me is if she was updating my tests for the transplant.
*In a Prior visit My Dr. did tell me that until the insurance details were worked out many of the tests that I had done for the prior Transplant date of December 10th would need to be done over when it gets closer to my new transplant date.
As quickly as those thoughts came into my head it left because I once again made the decision to leave everything at God's feet. I kept having to surrender things the whole morning because I wanted my heart & spirit to be in the right place.
I'm on a journey and will have to take a back seat to whatever may come my way (good/bad/indifferent, the lesson being learned is patience, humility, & surrender). I rejoice from hearing this news and would like to ask for your continued prayers since the more intensive part has yet to begin.
