Another c&p from Sue: more prayer needed!
We had a call from the hospital last night re Dave's blood results.........its nothing to panic about BUT something to pray about!! The [now I really haven't a clue how to spell this word so for all you clever people out there take pity on a plank ok,its so bads I don't even know if it begins with a "c" or a "k" so I'll spell it phonetically!!!!]
The results from the kiz- or -isms [all one word] have come back and there is still to much of "Dave",the plan is to totally eliminate any of Dave's immune system and DNA and for Jane [his sister ]to be completely dominant............is this making sense??? if not email me back or phone and I'll give it another bash in trying to explain.
The point of this if you remember is that they feel that daves immune system was faulty and wasn't detecting the lymphoma as foreign therefore by "re booting "him with Jane's good immune system any nasties will be detected and nuked!!
They have reassured us that this is most certainly not uncommon and that they basically need to take some more of Jane's blood,cream off the Tcells and transfuse into Dave. The boys looked like they had been caught in head light when we told them and their first question was does dad need more chemo....bless their hearts it really got me that question cos you know its not that far from their minds, they really have been through the mill.It is nothing to do cancer wise,this is due to the transplant,and we had started off by telling them its nothing to worry about,I suppose they like me walk alittle on egg shells and chemo has been such apart of treatment. They have got their heads around it now and are cool....please remember them in your prayers won't you.To put a cherry on the cake DS2 got mugged on his way to school today,he wasn't hurt but it has obviously shaken him up....the lad who did it must be so proud,he got 15p and a few sweets,oh yeah DS2's house keys were in the bag he nicked so we are having to have all the locks changed ...wouldn't you just love to "lay" hands on the little swine,his 15p profit has cost us £150....BLESSED!!!
Anyway,we haven't had a date asto when the transfusion is happening,it will be next week sometime,I'll keep you posted....hey all is still very very well,its just a minor irritation.....we are still shouting out thanks and praise big time for the amazing things God has done..infact I had to get out of Sainsbury's really quickly the other day cos I had such a strong urge to shout out that Dave is healed,I don't know what came over me!!!! Actually when Dave was really really poorly I often was sobbing my way round Sainsbury's,don't ask me why,the place just did it to me so at least its nice mad moments now!!
