I keep catching infections.

Ok, so I left the hospital and  went to a physical rehabitation facility to get my arms and legs working again.  I spent less than two weeks there.  I started having severe pain and was rushed back to St.Luke's hospital.  They gave me pain medications and sent me through a battery of tests.  They got 8 liters of fluid from the parenthesis.  Tests revealed an infection of my blood. I am not sure what the cause, however they said they think they know. They plan to keep me for a few days more. I may have also had a another cryoglobulinemic attack because I see many of the same symptoms.  They are re-starting the steroids and chemo treatment again.  I shaved my head because all my hair was falling out in gobs. They did another parenthesis yesterday and got 3 more liters. Looks like I will need these draining every week.  I was also told I would be on antibiotics for the rest of my life, very strong ones after the transplant.

The Lord is with me at all times.  He takes all my cares and troubles for me. He gives me courage and strength.  Thanks for all your prayers and support.
