The past 48 hours have been more challenging.
Because I do not have an immune system, certain aspects of the body just don't heal. For example, mucus membranes and other sensitive areas of the body. Mouth sores develop because the healthy immune system and healthy white blood cells are not there to heal it. Antibiotics can keep you from getting an infection, but it doesn't coordinate the amazing design that God created in us to heal us through our immune system. Waves of pain hit me on a level 5 to 8 depending on what's kind of going on with my body at the moment. I do get respites, but I've been waking up about every hour between having to eliminate fluids from the IV or a wave of pain hitting me. I know and trust my God has a perfect plan, but in those moments of intense pain, I don't understand, and I can only cry out for His merciful touch and healing.
Treatment goes well otherwise and Monday my Blencyto level will be bumped up and they'll watch me closely for 48 hours and if no side effects pop up, then will probably send to me home with an infusion pump for the next three weeks or so. Yea!
I think this is a worthy read.
