Day 30

I wish I had better news, but it's still a struggle around here. My hands and feet are not improving as quickly as I'd hoped, in fact last night was probably the worst they've been. The burning is unbelievable, if I could have slept in the bathtub, I would have. I pray that was the low point and it's just up from here because tolerating anything more will have to be all God - my reserves are exhausted. Maybe that's the lesson. The further along this path that I travel, the less I understand and that's probably part of the trust/faith lesson too.
I went to the doctor yesterday and my labs continue to look very good. The final pathology report was finally back and it was rather inconclusive - looked like it could be early GVH but they couldn't say for sure. The doctor didn't seem too concerned by the report since he said we wouldn't do anything different treatment-wise unless symptoms got worse. For the next 70 days, I'll be watching, waiting and healing. Appointments every Tues and Thurs for labs and to see the doctor. Every day will be better than the last!

The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his Love, He will rejoice over you with singing." -Zeph 3:17
