Platelets count still dropping

David's platelets count was 57 on Monday, 56 yesterday and 55 today. The reason for this is yet to be known. However, it was a great relief for me to know that the head scan result was good. Nothing unusual was found during the scan. He went for some other tests (I think EEG or something - has to do with some neurological tests) to further confirm all is well with his head. We are thankful Dr William is so thorough to make sure David is cleared of head related problems that could have caused the occassional tingling sensation he felt in his limbs and the earlier cramps he experienced before his admission. Glad that there were no more cramps since.

Physically David may be afflicted but I could tell he was not feeling down but seemed to be filled with a sense of purpose - giving away some Christian books and bibles to other patients, nurses and even pharmacists, praying that the Lord would speak to them and getting excited when he noticed his opposite bed patient reading the Chinese bible with interest. It is his prayers and mine that the Lord use him to continue to touch lives, to bring comfort to those who are suffering, to bring healing to those who are hurting,to bring hope to those who are hopeless, all for the glory of God, our Father.

The joy of the Lord is our strength.

Rejoice in the Lord,
