We just got a call from the doctor a few minutes ago. We have insurance approval! That's a huge praise, once again.
It looks like Lizzie will be up on Wednesday for all of the necessary testing and we will proceed from there. At some pont I'll start chemo again to hopefully knock out any residual blasts.
They continue to make changes to my antibiotics as I spike random fevers. The pain level has held pretty consistent.
Thanks for your prayers!

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, 'I believed, and so I spoke,' we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:5-18

Amy,
Praise God that you will have the opporutnity for a 2nd transplant. I'm praying that all the details fall into place (with God all things are possible)!
I'm praying that your body stays strong during chemo and that no infections of any kind invade your body. May the Lord continue to protect and sustain you through all of minute by minute ups and downs you physically and emotionally face.
Keep fighting courageously!!!!

I just got goosebumps from your news:) Congrats again!
Focus on your healing. Visualize this dis-ease leaving your body. Do it every day. Laugh, smile, surround yourself with light. Meditate, breath and as you exhale, exhale this cancer. Do this every moment of the day. Picture yourself well at home with your family. Keep doing this every moment of every day! CJ from Arizona
10:30 Saturday night, praying for you from Michigan.
Such a blessing about the insurance. Continued prayers for you and yours
Sending prayers down Hwy 70 for pain management and for Lizzie especially. What a big step. Hooray, insurance has done something RIGHT! How bout that??
Our God is an awesome God he reigns in Heaven above, with wisdom, Power and LOVE, our God is an awesome God!!
This is the song I sing today when this miracle comes to my mind.
We love you and are praying fervently for a complete miracle Amy!!
I believe God wants us to pray specifically so by you bringing forth new prayer needs, we know how to pray!!
Amazing news. The boost I needed at the end of my summer so I can only imagine how you feel!
Praying for you of course and now Lizzie too, lifting you both in His light!
