Great news today! Daddy started chemo about 11:00 this morning and is doing GREAT!! They told us that if he was going to get violently ill, it would happen pretty quickly. And...so far, so good! They did warn that other side effects usually appear after about five days but we have faith God will take care of all of that.
The nurse today was great and warned Daddy not to be alarmed if the nurse wears a shield and mask when hooking his chemo up tomorrow. She said she doesn't but some are pretty cautious and they do. Must be pretty potent stuff!!
Daddy said the food is pretty good and he is trying to eat all that he can just in case he gets sick in a few days. He even choked down some garden peas at lunch and that is something (actually one of the few things) that Daddy and I both despise. Thanks again for your prayers. Day two, which is also the final day, of chemo begins tomorrow. God is good and is providing in ways that we can't even believe!

The Transplant Process Begins
I know there is a lot more to this story than where I am starting tonight and some day very soon, I will go back and rewrite our story from the beginning...
However, for now I am going to use this blog to update those who are following our journey personally and those who are know that this is the week of Daddy's transplant. He was admitted to MUSC tonight and will begin 2 days of very intense chemo tomorrow. So far he says they have hit on his knees and asked him 40,000 questions :) Not too much to report.
We are confident that God has a plan and that He has Daddy in the palm of His hand. Moma reminded us in church Sunday that while this isn't the journey we would have picked, it is the journey God chose for us and we will walk it and have faith knowing that God is all-knowing and He is in control. Thanks for your prayers! We love you all!!
Oh...I do plan to go back and add our whole myeloma story. When Daddy was first diagnosed, blogs were a lifesaver for me. They allowed me to connect with real people fighting this very real battle and most importantly they gave us HOPE. So, more info coming soon!
