We lost a loved one this past weekend. Margret Rockhill passed away and her funeral was today. We went to the doctor first this morning but told them we had to be out in time to go to a funeral. We barely made it! It was a wonderful celebration of her life, a VERY sweet lady, Terry's aunt. She is in a much better place! His hemoglobin was still up, so they took a pint of blood from him to reduce the iron deposits from the transfusions. We are trying a new medicine for his neuropathy pain and numbness. They gave him a testosterone shot and a shot that will help boost his red blood cells. He has to go back to the eye doctor to make sure there is still no GVHD in his eyes and we will start talking about coming off the immune suppression meds again. Pray that it is NOT GVHD, just allergies that are making his eyes so red and irritated. Karen and Rick are visiting Todd this week and Butch and Jackie just got back from the beach. Pete(Sherri's husband)will be on the Wheel of Fortune, I will let you know when to tune in! So much going on! John moved out of our home this past weekend, so pray God watches over him and will keep him safe! Kristina will be going back to Tuscaloosa this weekend to start back to school next week. PLEASE pray for her as she is going to be buried in nursing school books! I got a phone call from the real estate agent today and we are supposed to close on the house in Tarrant on Thursday. So many people had such a BIG hand in helping us through it! So congrats to all of you and you know who you are! We have met some really good christian people in the BMT unit and I asked the nurse today if she wondered why so many good people end up with these blood cancers. She said she never questions why, that God has a plan for everyone! They have some really GREAT people in the BMT unit! We love all of you and "Thank you" to everyone for coming so far with us! In May, we will celebrate his 2nd birthday and if God is willing he will be "Cured"! God Bless! Alyce
