first day of the harvest..

ok so today is the first day of the stem cell harvest. my nurse draws a cbc on me and when the result come back 20 min. later.. i was a bit shocked that my white count was over 50,000.. being on chemo and getting used to wbc counts less than 5 or so i guess the neupogen works.

One year when we went to Toronto to a conference there was a speaker there named Melinda Fish. Melinda had a term coined an "accidental intercession"..
Sunday when I went in to get my shot, there were two other patients there. I really did not notice.. then on Monday the same nurse that gave me my shot told me that one of the women who was in the office on Sunday was going to Boston also. So I kinda pushed that down in my priority list because, what are the chances... really of meeting up with a fellow Albanian. ..

So we come in today to get my harvest going and our nurse asks us where we are from, of course we say Albany. Well to our surprise, the nurse says.. you know the women in around the corner is from near Albany.. so Cathy goes around the corner and introduces herself and would you believe, this was one of the girls from my Sunday office visit.. and she knows my sister in law.. so we shot a picture..
May God grant you peace and health Barbara. May the Holy Spirit comfort you and give you strength and peace. May Jesus our healing touch you with His hands of Grace.

Accidental intercessions.. you gotta love them.
