There's No Place Like Home

Dear Family and Friends,

I had started another post during the day today, but at this point, I haven't finished it, and, I am not sure if I will or not, but know I do not have the energy to do it tonight.  It was good, though, for me to process some of my thoughts at least.  It has been a very frustrating and draining 36 hours, but, I am happy to say, we are HOME AGAIN and THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!  In some ways we need to look at this as a "Bump on the Road in our Transplant Journey" but in other ways it's been a very frustrating "Bump" that has left, especially me, with many "unanswered" questions to things that we have been so "carefully" doing in taking care of Gary since his transplant.

Anyhow, the great news is that he is home and the "bump" was very minor, and no answers as to why he got sick.

We are thankful to all of you for your continued thoughts, prayers, and notes of encouragement.

Love,
Nelly, Gary, and family

Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good. His faithful love continues forever.

A Bump on the Journey

Dear Family and Friends,

Just a short note to let you know that Gary is back in the hospital at UIC.  He started vomiting shortly after taking his medication Thursday morning, and because of all of that, they had me bring him to the ER for bloodwork and to rehydrate him.  They decided to admit him so after finally being brought to a room around 11PM Thursday night, it was around 12:30AM when I got home.  I am hoping that this will be a short stay.  

Thank you for keeping us all in your prayers and continuing to walk this journey with us.

Love,

Nelly, Gary, and family

And my God will meet all your needs

According to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

~~Philippians 4:19 NIV
