"Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing,
in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Yes, we want to continue to give thanks to God for his work in David's life:
David's running nose has not improved much but his abdominal discomfort has been greatly reduced with some adjustments to the dosage of the medication he is on. Really glad that the nausea and vomiting was not a result of GVHD but due to the high toxity of the drugs which could be regulated.
Praise the Lord his wednesday's BMA was also done with minimal pain. His blood test result was still good though the total white count dropped from 3.7 to 2.2 (normal is 4 to 6). I was told it may flunctuate but its ok.
Today he was back to the hospital for another appointment because the doctor wanted to monitor him closely due to his abdominal discomfort. The BMA result showed he still has 4% myeloma cells (I was expecting 0%) but Dr Koh assured him his result and progress is excellent. Need to continue to pray that the grafted cells will grow well to provide David with a new immunity to fight all the remaining myeloma cells and completely wipe them out once and for all. The Lord is able!
Please also pray for Josh who is down with high fever and stuffy nose. David was concerned that he might have passed the flu bug to Josh. Pray that the infection does not get passed around. Claiming God's promise of healing in Psalms 107:19-21
"Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
Oh that men, would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!"
Peace, love and grace be with you all, in Jesus name.
God bless,
