Amazing. You've been granted a miracle even if it all ended tomorrow. Keep on trucking!

Been Keeping you in my prayers since your first post..can't hurt you know.
Looks like a good report.

You’re in my prayers every night, LBJ. Glad you’re holding it down.

Praise God indeed!! I have been praying for you and hopefully it is working!!!

Yes indeed, "Praise God". Keep on, Keeping on brother.

Just to have a fairly close family member pipe in here, I had my annual physical as well as my annual visit to my cardiologist who did the various procedures that my 2013 valve surgery requires, and I was given, yet again, a clean bill of health. I'd love to know "why you and not me".....
It's pretty awesome how well you've done! Your two grand-boys are certainly much better off that you're still in their lives! Continue on!

My illness is more about me and the Lord.
While I have always been a believer, most of my life my belief resided on the back burner.
Not anymore, God is number one.

On another note, Miles' biological father has re entered the picture, at least temporarily.
After a rough start last week, he is finally "getting it" and my daughter says they are getting along really well.

The dad went out to Arkansas to be around Miles and find a job.

I am told that dad was giving Miles attitude at first and Miles told him he should go away and that he didn't want him around.

I mean, dad didn't even know his son and was immediately critical of Miles and his behavior with him. That didn't go well. Miles had only seen him maybe for a couple of hours total in almost 4 years.

Apparently dad decided to back up and fly right and a few days later they are getting along really well.

My hope is that it continues.
Another prayer answered.
Praise God!

lbj, you have been in my daily prayers from the day you first posted about your ER viisit. Will add a prayer for Miles and his family. Best you you and yours.

Indeed they do !! Mine added to everyone else's

I didn't realize it's been so long since I posted any updates, sorry about that.
Living so long with stage 4 renal clear cell has just become so normal oddly enough.

I am still here living the dream.

I did miss my 140th infusion of Nivolumab/Opdivo this week due to a bad sinus infection and the prednisone they gave me. Oh well.

139 infusions with one every 2 weeks is incredible.
At the UCHealth infusion center here, they call me the miracle baby.

I still don't have a port yet and my veins have done just fine with all the sticks.

I saw my heart doctor a few months back and I have yet to use the pacemaker they put in me going on almost 3.5 years now. Incredible.

Praise God in all things.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

There is no doubt, this will be the greatest thing I read on this forum for the rest of the year.

Merry Christmas!

lbj, you're gonna outlive me.

Merry Christmas to you and yours

Hope nothing bad is happing to you.

I have had so many people tell me I'm a fighter.
It's just not true.

All I do is just sit back and God does the rest.
Truly amazing.

I certainly don't deserve all these good things but it's not up to me to judge it.

As I say, living the dream.

Awesome update!

Merry Christmas!
