My blood numbers have risen considerably. White blood count is down.
He likes what he sees. So much so that he told me he wants me to stay in ICU for a little more blood today and observation and if all looks good tomorrow morning
I will be moved to a private room.
And barring any further relapse, I may be able to go HOME on Friday!!!!!
I cannot tell you how great of an outlook this puts on my day.
And I cannot tell you....nor prove to you in any greater fashion, the power of all the prayers, good thoughts, love, and concern that - you, my family and friends have bestowed upon me during this ordeal.
My friends are all individuals with varying views of God and many pray in different ways. Some of us are "old school", some are more free thinkers, there are Catholics, Methodists, Unitarians, Presbyterians, Jewish folks, and few may only admit to a "Power of the Universe",
Irregardless, you prayed on my behalf.
I see this as testimony. I am your sign.
I very humbly thank you .
God is good.
I praise my God.
AMEN!!

ReplyDeleteThis was posted on the Sisters of IHM's website today on FB. I find it to be fitting:
ReplyDelete"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves,...Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them... And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
It is what we all have been waiting to hear! Listen to your doctor's calm assurance. God is speaking through him to comfort you. There is power in positive thoughts. Can't wait for you to get a room with a view.....of something other than high tech equipment!
ReplyDeleteBe putting a menu together for our next cookout!
Great news good bud. Keep the faith, keep believing, keep improving and we will continue to pray for you. God is great, we have to trust His plan. All the best, tommy
ReplyDeleteMy computer went down last night, and your Dad called me this morning to tell me the good news. However, now that my computer is up and running again and I can read it for myself, I feel the relief flooding thru me, (and some leaking out my eyes). I/We are all so grateful for this turn-around and continue to pray for all good days ahead. Take it slow. You have certainly earned the rest! Keep the faith. Lov-Cuz Laura
