Day 8
Well the second day of the Cytoxan was not as bad as the first, and I even walked to the lounge while it was running and had vistors and felt OK. First, my brother Doug and Pat came and they brought Barb D to see me. Then my brother, Tony and Connie and their kids came to see me. We had a very nice visit and it is nice that they have such a room to visit in, since my room is so small. Doug brought me a gift from Gale, a punching bag and boxing gloves. Thank you Gale, I was a little teary when I saw them and I am going to hang the goves on my bed! Just so I remember what I have to do ! Then Patti came to visit whenI got back to my room. Today is my day of rest before my new birthday. it feels good to say "no more chemo". Libby stopped up before her appointment with the doctor today and we had a ncie talk with my nurse, I think it helped both of us. We are ready for tomorrow, Libby and I. We are going to beat this thing once and for all. So we are ready for the Magic School Bus ride tomorrow and we will be singing YES I CAN, YES I CAN, YES I CAN, YES I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Cindy & Libby,
I'll be praying for both of you tomorrow. The BMT will be over before you know it. It is exciting to get a new life and so wonderful that your sister can give it to you. I think of you everyday and told Steve when your BMT was. He'll also be thinking of you and really knows how you feel. You'll do good. Keep that positive attitude, yes you can and will.

Only a few more hours. I'm prayin' like crazy. Can you imagine God right now. His ears are ringing. Pretty soon he will say, "alright already." Tomorrow is a new day. For you, that is more true than ever. Feel the power, know the love.
Libby, thanks for giving us our Cindy back. You are awesome. You will be rewarded.
Cindy, hang in there just a bit longer. We love you and we are there in spirit. Now get in there a kick some butt!!!!!!!!
Love,

A living House
God is building you!
by C.S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote. God's work in our lives can be painful, but His ultimate goal is to transform us into something better.
Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what he is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised.
But presently he starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is he up to? The explanation is that he is building quite a different house from the one you thought of — throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards.
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but he is building up a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself.
C.S. Lewis, in Mere Christianity

Happy "Rebirth"Day! Today is the day that you start your new cancer-free life. Your rebirth may not feel different but the importance of that bag of cells is tremendous and the gift that Libby is giving is truly the gift of life. I love you and words will never be able to express just how inspiring you are to all of us.
Love always,
