On Tuesday, April 15, I was officially discharged from the Northside Hospital Blood and Marrow Transplant group.  Dr. Solomon, my attending physician, gave me verbal and written instructions to follow to continue to keep me safe until my immune system gets back to normal.  For instance, I am not to be in schools, restaurants, church services, and athletic events for another 40 days.  LOL.  Those are about the only places I usually go. 

I have resumed my duties as Headmaster at Trinity Christian School “from afar.”  I rely heavily on email, phone conversations, and meet my appointments at home or in the Trinity Fellowship office wing which is on an HVAC system which does not recirculate the air used by students.  I am so grateful for the school’s patience and understanding while I have undergone this consuming medical journey.  Also, the fabulous administration team we have in place has not missed a beat.

Dr. Solomon referred me back to Dr. Goldklang for my continued care.  I met with Dr. G Monday.  He will wait until my bone marrow biopsy at my 100th day after the transplant to determine if I need any ongoing maintenance medication.

“Lord Jesus, my life and health are in Your hands.  I’m asking that every plasma cell in my blood be healthy and free from the abnormality of cancer.  Jesus, let YOUR BLOOD be in my body.  Let all your children walk in health and miraculous provision for their days here on this earth.  We trust You and the power in Your Name.”
