God is in charge!

Unfortunately, we got the news today that the leukemia is making a comeback. So that means the next step is a bone marrow transplant, which cannot done in Amarillo. Dr. would like to see the transplant done in either Houston or Bethesda, Maryland. He is working on that for now and we'll know more when we go back to see him next Thursday.

How is Ray feeling?? He feels really good, in fact, he is at the shop, working as I'm posting this. The fact that he's as healthy as he is, gives us a little time before the transplant. As far as how long his stay for the transplant could be; possibly as long as four months.

As we were driving away from the Dr. office, Ray says. "Lets's go celebrate." Of course I gave him a pathetic look asking just exactly what are we celebrating, and his response was "God is in charge! We don't have to be."

Love you all,
Kim
