So far today!!

Well we have arrived at the "Hotel Markey" as my hubby likes to refer to it.  He is currently having a Lumbar Puncture done.  One reason is to draw spinal fluid to make sure there is no cancer in his spine or in his brain.  Second reason is to insert his first round of chemo directly into that area.  He was so dreading it and I was dreading it for him.  It's odd because he is grown man but my heart aches for him just like it does when my babies have something done that hurts or when they were little and got shots and you had to hold them down.  So I am sitting here in the corner typing so that I don't cry and praying for him at the same time.  We have seen all his doctors today and they have told us this last round (notice I am saying LAST) round of chemo will be the harshest he has received.  He will receive Busulfan every 6 hours from Tomorrow, Wednesday till Saturday.  Then Sunday and Monday he will receive Cylcophosphamide for two days straight.  Then on Tuesday, August 2nd, he will receive Tacrolimus for 24hrs.  This particular drug is not chemo but is a medication they use to people who will be receiving a transplant of any form to help prevent rejection.  Then Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011 is transplant day.  So we are believing he is healed but also understand that we have this walk to take to get there.  The things God has showed us in the walk and the lessons we have learned has helped us to become closer to the Lord.  We are truly blessed even in the middle of all this and yes times have and are rough but I love the Lord so much and all we want is for His Glory to shine!!!
