Day 6 - One Day Before Transplant

Caleb had a pretty hard day today. His body isn't liking all the meds he's had over the past 4 days and it's rebelling against him. He hasn't eaten much the last two days and when he does eat, it causes a ton of abdominal pain and he ends up retching it back up (pretty violently). He is beyond homesick and really just wants to come home. =( 

Tomorrow is transplant day and both of my big kids will be in the hospital. I am so grateful for those who are praying and fasting for them (and the rest of us) and for everyone here who is helping me out tomorrow! We couldn't do this on our own! Brother Chandler came to the hospital and gave both Caleb and Brooklin a priesthood blessing tonight and I know that angels will be with them and the doctors tomorrow. God is good and I know that everything will be ok.

Mia Wolfe League Oh Melissa, I am so proud of you. I usually do not remember to get priesthood blessing for my family...but when I do get them the blessings are amazing and help carry me through the hard times. I know with all my heart angels will be watching your children. I will continue to pray and will not stop until you tell me to.
