It took a while to get the lab results for March. I actually received them while Steve was out of town. I didn't tell him the results until he came back…..his number went up. He was at 1.3 and then it went up to 1.6. he was convinced it was because he missed 4 doses while he was in the hospital. I believed the treatment was no longer working.
So when we went to see the doctor on April 23rd, I was ready to discuss next treatment options.
The nurse knew how I felt and told me she would call us with the lab results, as soon as they came in. If they were bad I wanted to begin the next step ASAP, and not wait until our usual monthly appointment.
Well, my husband received a call on Wednesday, the m-spike went down to 1.3, again! He got what he wanted, well what we both wanted. I'm just discouraged that we have been above 1.0 the whole time and the lowest was only 1.1 way back in December.
I know I'm just feeling overwhelmed from the many life changes that have occurred lately, and just eager for some really, really, really good news. I need the Lord's help in being content, and remembering we are so blessed in so many ways.
I looked up the average life expectancy for men and women 115 years ago (1900) according to the statistics we would both be dead by now!
