One of MANY Guardian Angels

Mom sent us a text message this morning and Thursday is already looking really good! Each morning at 5:00am dad gets his blood drawn and they test his white blood count (wbc), hemoglobin, platelets, and red blood count (rbc).  Since chemo, everything has been extremely low, and he has continued to have transfusions to help his body.  Today, however, the wbc was 0.5 which was up from 0.2. (this is crazy low, normal count is 4,000-6,000!!) BUT for dad, this is moving up...which Dr. Chang told my mom that this means dad's bone marrow is starting to produce new, healthy blood.  YAHOO!!

On the day dad was moved back to ICU, we were all feeling a bit down.  My cousin Dylan brought my dad a beautiful guardian angel that has been blessed in the Jordan river.  Dylan shared that this angel was with him during two major heart surgeries, with him and his daughter during her birth, and will now be with dad to cover his body with the healing it needs.  Dad held her in his hand the other evening and prayed.

This guardian angel that he can hold, as well as all of the angels and prayer warriors that he can't see are providing a tremendous amount of comfort and healing to my dad.  Mom and dad are just overcome with peace that the Lord is taking care of them.  They are trusting this plan and have all the faith in the world that dad is going to bounce back from this awful disease. He's already beaten leukemia!! Now he just needs to build back strength, which will happen as his blood counts continue to rise.
Love to you all! Please send well wishes and positive messages...my dad LOVES hearing them!
