We had an appointment with our doctor yesterday (Tues) and he released me to go home.  Yay!!!!  Things are progressing as expected and 100 percent of my blood cells are now from my donor.  The possibility of some kind of rejection is still very real and won’t subside for another 50 days or so.  Though I am home, I have to stay away from crowds and won’t be released to go back to work until mid April.  It’s a blessing to be home with Kim and to also have some time ahead where I can devote more time to my current study of the Book of James.  Pastor John even sent me a commentary on James that is a favorite of his and that I just received on our last day at Hope Lodge.  I really look forward to digging into those pages.  Please keep praying that Kim and I would continue to rejoice in our circumstances and exam our lives in the illumination of His Word.  There have been some awesome changes that God has brought to us as we’ve wrestled with the disease while being blessed with His Word.  That change has been, and continues to be, very painful at times as, of course, the amputation of sin must be.  Pray that God continue to help us and change us, as of course we know He will, and that we would seek to obey Him and to bask in His loving grace and protection at all times.
