Yes...You read the title correctly! Home is in sight. Johns white blood cell count is on the rise. It is still too low to come home. They have to finish the round of antibiotics he is recieving. That will be completed tomorrow. He can have a day pass for Sunday. Monday they will do the bone marrow biopsy here at the RUH. Then he can come home. Dr. F. brought us that good news this morning. Dr. F. always seems to be the one to bring the good news. I like Dr. F. He is short, wears a cute ascot and has a Brittish accent.
If the testing goes good the next step will be the stem cell harvest. I am going to dig out our resourse material and check out how that goes down. I don't think that it involves a very long hospital stay. I really feel like we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. I feel kind of excited.
John is feeling pretty good. He has very little back pain right now and can walk quite far. He is looking forward to getting home and getting some exercise to regain all that lost muscle. I think that we could do this together as I have gotten out of shape myself. About the only exercise that I get is knitting! Pray for some more nice fall days so John can get out for some good walks before the snow falls.

That's fantastic to hear!! I'm happy that things are getting better, and that he can go home soon!!
Sounds great! We will continue to pray for God's blessing through the rest of this process. If you get our weather after it has been here you should have afew nice days for the next while. Sorry we couldn't come see you when we were down for Thanksgiving, but the colds and all, you know how it is.
Love you =).
I can't tell you how great and excited I feel for John. God IS faithful!!! If things keep moving from west to east, you should have some very nice days ahead of you. We are having great weather here so we pray that sunshine will be there by Sunday when John gets out. Oh this is so great to hear.
Love to you all and God's richest blessings on you all. *hugs*
Great News!!! The forcast is for nice wether on sunday. When you start doing that walking, My house is not too far away. Great place for a pit stop. I am sooo happy for you all. We serve a good God who is faithful to answer all our prayers.
Hallelujah! God is so good! *singing this song* I just went on the weather network for Saskatoon and you have two weeks of sunshine in your forecast. It does get a little colder next week, but no snow in the foreseeable future. Walk on, brother, walk on. I would love for you to be able to walk where Mitz and Ken took their latest fall pictures. That way I could walk, and talk, with you. Oh, well. I am there in spirit. Miss you guys and thanks for the wonderful news.
That is great news. I pray that John keeps feeling better all the time. It is great to hear that his back pain has lessened. I pray that the weather will stay nice for you to be able to enjoy the outside.
I know you have been busy with going back to work and all but is John still home? I pray all is going well and John continues to get better and better.
