Hi Everyone,
My dad is up at the hospital with my mom today and they just talked with the doctors. There's still no white blood cell count unfortunately. We were all really hoping mom could come home this weekend, but that might not happen. The doctors said that her counts should be starting to come up by now, but it's possible it could take longer. They took a bone marrow sample to make sure everything checks out normal. They don't expect to see any cancer cells in there, but they want to check for that and for other abnormalities. We're not really sure what to expect. It's possible that she could start producing good white blood cells today, we just don't know.
The doctors said they might know some preliminary readings from the marrow tonight, but they may not know exactly what's going on til Monday. We're all a bit anxious and sad to hear the news, but we trust in God who's bigger than all of this.
Philippians 4:6 reminds us...
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Please continue to pray for my mom!
Amy also wanted me to let you all know that mom is feeling well. It would be great if anyone has a chance to visit her this weekend if she doesn't get to go home...she could use the encouragement. If you do want to visit, please give Amy a call at 815-343-5977 just to let her know. Thanks!
Mary, sorry to hear about your white blood count. I'm not sure what to say. I know you've heard it all: just keep trusting God, He's your Healer, stay faithful, hang in there, keep fighting, we're praying. . .
ReplyDeleteSometimes, when God is silent, it's hard to see Him working. Sometimes, it's hard to understand what He's doing. But, please hold on to this: God is God, and God is good. YOU are the apple of His eye.
Hi Mary! I haven't been on here in awhile, so I read some older posts. Remission!!!! That's awesome news. I'll keep praying for your white blood count to go up so that you can go home. I'm sure you and your family are looking so forward to that. To God be the glory!!! - Britta Robran
