After beginning the morning with the typical vitals, blood sampling and other samples, I broke my fast with a meal of toast, jelly and juice -- a trio I am going to have to get used to if I stay on this drug. The rest of the day was filled with periodic blood draws, EKGs and vitals. We are encouraged that thus far I have not experienced any nausea, something that is a definite possibility with the drug. I have to say it was a little weird taking a drug that only a handful of humans have ever taken. But it didn't seem to make me feel any differently, so we feel good about that. We'll see what happens with my blood work. So far, so good.
Our time at the clinic the next four days should be much shorter. I will not take the drug again this week. However, we will go in every day through Friday for more blood work, EKGs and check-ups. If all goes well, I should begin taking the drug daily on Monday. We will stay here through then.
God has not only led us to where we have been and where we are, but He has carried us there. We continue to rest on His promises and trust in His provision and His good purpose for our lives.
Blessings and love,
Kenny and Helen

Hi Kenny & Helen,
I am so glad that things went well for you today. It does sound like a long, hard day and I know you are tired. Sounds good that the other days should be shorter and easier.
As you know, we love you both and are praying for you.
