It is wonderful to finally be in my own home. After spending 39 consecutive days in the hospital undergoing treatment for AML and ALL it is good to sleep in my own bed, eat my own food and just be at rest in my own surroundings.
I have been home almost two weeks. During this time my pain has significantly decreased and I have been able to get off of all pain medications. This is a huge praise as the constant pain was wearing me thin.
Each day I experience a little bit more energy. Because I enjoy being active, I wish my pace could be quicker but I know that I need to be patient as my energy level slowly returns.

I have had so many of you come along side me in prayer and practical help. I am so grateful for you and the ways in which you have blessed me. Thank you.
Here is a picture of me and my new grandson Kyle (4 months old) who came to visit me along with his parents (my son and daughter in law) for the first time at my house. What a joy and blessing he is for me! He fell asleep in my arms! He weighs 14.5 lbs and is super cuddly.

I am so excited to share a wonderful week of family times and to create good memories together.
As my body gains strength and continues to fight for 'life' please pray for wisdom and direction for me on this journey. I continue to believe for God's healing touch on my body and am standing in faith. Thank you again for your prayers and your encouragement.

"Now to Him who, by (in consequence of) the (action of His) power that is at work within us, is able to carry out His purpose and do super-abundantly, far over and above all that we dare, ask or think, infinitely beyond our highest prayers desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams" (Eph. 3:20)
Love to you all,

Praise God that you are enjoying your home again! I believe I have a scripture for you that the Lord showed me this morning. It is Psalm 29:11, The Lord will give strength to His people: the Lord will bless His people with peace.
The only condition for receiving His strength and His peace is that we are His. It's a free gift, just like salvation. We don't have to earn it, just receive it by His most amazing grace and love.
I found out that the word peace comes from the Hebrew word shalom, meaning wholeness. He wants us to have wholeness in every part of our life, and that includes your body!
Every time that the Lord brings you to my mind I am thanking Him for your complete restoration. Your blog is so full of the presence of the Lord; I am encouraged every time I visit.
Sharon,
Your picture with your grandson is beautiful as you are beautiful! I am happy to hear you are home from the hospital and on the road to complete recovery! Blessings and prayers to you!
