Today at 1:30 p.m., Patty and I will again visit the Transplant Dr.’s office to learn how to give myself neupogen.  Neupogen is a synthetic drug that stimulates white blood cell growth.  I give it to myself this weekend, and then on Monday, I have my port put in.  On Tuesday, I begin the collection process.

We drive to Northside Hospital for these procedures.  It’s near Ashley and little Boston.  Hopefully, we can integrate some grandparent time with the process.

Thanks for your prayer.  The process is bothersome when compared to my prior life.  But, I am committed to maintaining my health for the sake of those who love me and depend upon me.

Jesus, I need YOU.  I depend upon YOU.  I trust YOU.  I love YOU.  YOU are my life and hope.  Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
