Steve had a little change in scheduling; On Feb. 23 he went into the hospital to be treated for the RSV virus. He had to go to University Hospital because Primary Children's was completely full with RSV patients from this recent outbreak. It was a wild new world at this hospital. One day I arrived to visit Steve and there was an armed guard outside his door. I thought maybe I had violated visiting hours, but came to find out that an inmate was being treated next door to Steve. We are glad that Steve has almost completed the treatment for RSV and will be coming home on Mar. 5.
This illness has meant that Steve's bone marrow transplant had to be re-scheduled. He will now enter the hospital on March 15 to begin the radiation treatments prior to his transplant. He will stay in the hospital and undergo the actual transplant on Tues. March 23, just a day before the expected birth of Steve's new little niece, Tyler & Amanda's baby. Then it is onward and upward to recovery!! He will go through a six-week stay that helps him heal while the new marrow grafts to his body and starts producing new bone marrow, about a three-week process. The doctors will help Steve fight off some of the early rejection issues that most likely will come up.
We are having a family fast for Steve this Sunday March 7, and invite any friends and family who would like to, to join in and combine their faith and prayers for Steve with ours. Thanks to everyone for all you have done for Steve and us already!
1 Nephi 7:12 (Book of Mormon)"Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him."

ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteI've never met you before, but your sister, Lauren Evans Taylor, and I are close friends. We went to Uintah Elementary school together. I lost contact with her and then several months ago she told me of your condition. Since that time I have been praying doctors would be guided how to treat you. I’m praying the bone marrow transplant goes smoothly and that the next 100 days you might be strengthened. I was reading today in Jeremiah 33:6 and thought of you. I have copied the scripture below. I interpreted this scripture by changing the words:
I= Heavenly Father
it, them= you
This reads,
"Behold, I (Heavenly Father) will bring it (you) health and cure, and I (Heavenly Father) will cure them (you), and will reveal unto them (you) the abundance of peace and truth."
Love,
Cicely Chipman
