A shapeless piece of steel, that’s all I claim to be
This hammer pounds to give me form, this flame, it melts my dreams
I glow with fire and fury, as I’m twisted like a vine
My final shape, my final form I’m sure I’m bound to find
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I’ll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for thee, the hammer holds
And the water, it cools me gray, and the hurt’s subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point, what is my purpose now?
And the question still remains, what am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I’ll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for thee, the hammer holds
The hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly, through flesh, and wood reveals
A burn that burns much deeper, it’s more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I’ll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the pain
And hurt a little, hurt for me, my future is so bold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for thee, the hammer holds
This task before me may seem unclear
But it, my maker holds
Emma’s clinic went well, they were impressed with her echo and EKG. There is some questions about her liver, but she has always had a big liver so they said they would review her labs and get back to me on that. (IOW: we are not too concerned) There is also some question about her CO2 levels on her last blood draw, it was remarkably lower than the time before, but some of her immune-suppressant drugs cause renal tubular acidosis as does her Mitochondrial Disease so if her levels are low again, we will just add Bicitra to her meds again. Ill give a more detailed update once I hear from the Transplant Team.
Pray for me this week, it is Chemo week (and weekend). I start Thursday Night and end Tuesday Night, so if my posting seems lower than usual, I will be spending this week with my family.
Thanks for your prayers

I guess you are starting your chemo today. I pray you have a better experience than last time. You are a seasoned veteran now. God Bless.
Good Morning Heather !! I’m going to take today a little bit at a time so I can handle it. I have been coordinating and planning a Praise and Worship service for this Sunday evening and I can’t believe all the barriers that keep popping up. I am for sure under spiritual attack, satan doesn’t want anyone to give thanks and praise to our Lord. SO today I pray the you feel good and make it through this chemo, even if it’s a little bit at a time ! I thank God for your ministry.
by your post I know you started Chemo last night. You are in my prayers and I am asking for peace on all sides for you and your family.
You are in my prayers today as you start another round of chemo. I hope
it is gentle on you and that your body is getting stronger every day in this
fight. Asking God to watch over your entire family and give them joy so they
can pass it on to you. You are loved.

Just wanted to let you know I’ve been praying since last night that your chemo will treat you kindly this go-round. Loving God let the chemo do its job on the cancer and be gentle on Heather. Be strong! You are in a lot of people’s thoughts today and everyday!
To say that you’re incredible would be an understatement. Blessings for your whole family
Shalom and amen
