The team of doctors came in this morning to check Gary out, and went over again the plan for the treatment. They are all well aware of what has happened in the past with the Methotrexate (MTX) and were explaining all the steps they were going to do, to hopefully prevent it from happening this time. The doctor then said, "But, to be honest, I think we can expect 5 days of excitement." *sigh*
Gary started the MTX at 7pm. In 24 hours, they will administer the rescue drug. This is when it gets critical. Pray the rescue drug will do it's job in getting the MTX out of him before it crystalizes in his kidneys and starts shutting them down.
Again, I want to express our appreciation for your prayers. The emails and comments have been very comforting to not only Gary, but to myself.
Happy New Year, Gary and Jeanie. We pray that 2009 will be a year that you will always look back on as a reminder of what a Great God we have. We know He is holding you both in His Hand.
