More Great News

Terry and Alyce went to Dr. Yeilding's office yesterday and he is just amazed at how well Terry is doing. They told him it was God and him that had gotten Terry through thus far and Dr. Yeilding said that it was really ALL God because had it not been for God giving him the abilities and talents that he has, he would not have the good results with patients that he does. What a refreshing thing to see someone in his position to show such humility and realize that we all rely on the grace of God. May God bless you, Dr. Yeilding, with many, many more success stories. They took several vials of blood and will send some to UAB to test against Butch's and mine to see if they find a match. Terry's white cell count was 11,000 which was GREAT and his red blood cell count was at 30 (still needs to come up a little.) He will have to check back in to Carraway on Monday, March 26, for 7 days of chemo. He will also have to go back three more times this year for a week of chemo. HOWEVER, the great news is that Terry can resume his normal life style of doing whatever he feels like doing. Terry says he feels better right now than he has in years (pain wise) and Alyce and I are wishing we had a dose of that "miracle blood" to make us feel years younger. HA!!!! Everyone at SCS can expect to see Terry's sweet smile and bald head next Tuesday, March 6, BACK AT WORK. PLEASE don't spoil him. Remember, Alyce still has to deal with him at home and he has been spoiled enough. No more excuses for not taking out the trash!! Ha!! The doctor gave Alyce a great compliment for being such an attentive "nurse" and said that it played a big part in Terry's quick remission. Again, I want to thank all of you for putting him on your personal and church prayer lists because we KNOW it has made a difference. His name can come off the Request Prayer list and go on the Answered Prayer list. I will not post again until the week of 3/26/07 but if you want to just stay in touch with me, please email me at work or home.
