Terry has had a bit of a cold, but it seems that this cold is trying to go away on it's own, so we are pleased with that. No new meds or shots - we carry on the same.

We have an appointment at SCCA on February 2nd, and today our doctor asked if we were prepared for the possibility of them telling us that he needed another stem cell transplant. We are aware of that possibility and are trying to prepare for whatever they may tell us.

We will continue on with whatever plan they think is best and we will continue to trust their judgement - even when it seems to make us wonder in some ways. Obviously we have had some first hand experience with this disease, but they still know so much more about this disease than we do. Mostly though, we will continue to pray and turn things over to the Lord. No one knows more, nor can do more than He can. We trust Him! He is our strength and He has carried us through life this far. With Him on our side, we cannot lose.
