Dave:
I continue to pray. Thomas Watson, one of the puritans once said, “Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid; but when the arrow of a saint’s prayer is put into the bow of Christ’s intercession, it pierces the throne of grace.”
I’m praying to that Christ on your and Irene’s behalf.
Blessings.
Irene and Dave,
You are amazing and you are loved! It is truly an inspiration to see your pictures and read the messages of so many wishing you well and praying for your healing. I add mine to those—prayers for constant healing, for your continued inner peace as you face this daunting process and for those who are caring for you and administering your treatment. Thank you for your humble spirit, Irene—I learn from you and your incredible courage, joy, faith and patience. Both of you are wrapped in care and love from many, many well wishers and faithful friends. Thanks for your updates, Dave and for your example of courage and love.

Today the approval came from the insurance carrier for the stem cell transplant. That’s a big victory because the process usually takes several weeks!!!! The first injection to build up the bone marrow begins this evening. This is the first of 4 daily injections.
Irene continues to have blurred vision in both eyes. She has 2 detached retinas from steroid treatment last week. The medical team hopes that as the steroids leave the body that the vision should self correct. They will monitor her vision over the next several weeks.
Irene’s bed is waiting in Oncology…..
Irene’s spirits are strong …. She is ready for the road ahead …. Thank you for your support!!!!!!!!
