Blogging Is Not Easy

Here I promised that I would keep the blog updated on a regular basis and once again I failed to keep my promise. I think it's because everyone who followed the blog, we would see at church and therefore knew Steve was doing well. He has been stable for all these months so I got lazy with the blog.

Well he is no longer stable. In February there was an up tick in Steve's M-spike. It went from .6 to .9. Doctor said not to worry because she sees this all the time. So we kinda waited a little anxiously for his next test in May. It too came back with a slight up tick. Now it was 1.2. So the doctor wanted to do a bone marrow biopsy and run mores tests. One being the FISH test; which would show if there were any new genetic mutations involving the chromosomes.

His follow-up appointment is on July 2nd. The only thing we know for sure is the Revlimid is not working as well as it had been.

So of course we covet your prayers and ask for God's grace and mercy. He has been so good to us in allowing Steve to do so well after his stem cell transplant.

Steve was coerced into opening a Facebook page but soon became disillusioned with the silliness of it all and doesn't do any more postings. But since I do not Facebook and never will, I'll have him post a link to the blog so our friends and family can follow along.

And I want to be a woman of my word, I will make it a habit to regularly update the blog so you will know the latest!

God bless you all and thank you for being there for Steve and I!
