The best position for a game of Uno
We have been watching Jethenro loose his thick head of hair this week . Because it is not coming out in clumps, he has chosen to just let it thin out naturally. It really is not that noticeable yet.
His appetite has stayed intact, and we all enjoy making sure he has enough on his plate at mealtime. We are praying that it stays that way!
The first part of the week Jethenro was still recuperating from the port a cath surgery. Then came chemo day just as he was starting to feel a little better. He seems to be bouncing back a little quicker this week. He only went in for one platelet transfusion ...an improvement!
Since he is eating well, his hemoglobin has been staying constant, which meant he did not need a blood transfusion.
The bone marrow aspirate shows that he is where the medical team expected him to be... Almost into remission status. They say "in olden days he would be considered in remission", but they have a more accurate test now which shows that there are some residual cells still hanging around.
We are ready for Sabbath rest.
Your prayers are coveted. Thank you!
May you have a happy and peaceful Sabbath. Our prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteShabbat Shalom! :-)
Thanks for the updates!! Glad to hear Jethenro is headed toward remission! Praise the Lord!! Know we are praying for you all up here still. Keep your heads up and your eyes fixed on the sky- our redemption draweth nigh...
ReplyDeletePraying for all of you! God is able!
ReplyDeletePhilippians 4:6-7 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
"Jesus invites the weary and care-laden sons and daughters of Adam to come to Him, and lay on Him their heavy burdens. But many who hear this invitation, while sighing for rest, yet press on the rugged path, hugging their burdens close to their heart. Jesus loves them, and longs to bear their burdens and themselves also in His strong arms. He would remove the fears and uncertainties that rob them of peace and rest..." Lift Him Up 277
So glad I found this blog... Please tell Jethenro our prayers are with him and you all! May the grace of God make you all strong through this adversity...
