Well! The day has finally come! After 8 months of treatment, Gary will go tomorrow to have his central line removed and will be able to leave the area. We are just kind of in shock to think he is really over any treatments! He will just need to come back to Mayo Clinic in July for a check up with his doctor.
Gary's journey has been such a rough one, and although he was very sick a week ago, we are surprised that the stem cell transplant went smoother than expected. I know it is all due to the many prayers around the world! We could NOT have gone through this without them!
Gary will still need prayers as he continues to gain his strength and recover. I would still like pictures sent in to post on the blog. If you are unable to send a picture of yourself with a sign of Gary's name (see past post), please write me at bamaw5@yahoo.com.ph and give your name, State or Country. I would like to make a list of all those that had a part in praying for us. If you do not want your name used, just say so and I will only post your location.
We are now starting to plan how to move back to Oklahoma. It will be wonderful to be back with family, especially our daughter and grandchildren. Again, thank you for your prayers!

This is awesome news! What a blessing your blog has been to us. Gary's journey has touched so many hearts and shown us how important our prayers are and how God listens to each and every one of them. I am sure God will use your testimony in an enormous way! Please keep posting.
