Engraftment results: 100% donor cells! Awesome, wonderful evidence of God’s continued mercy and healing.
And while I just admitted to Jodi on the phone that I’m looking hard for any evidence of a turning point, I have to say that today was a significant improvement. The diaper changes didn’t involve screaming, and his episodes of D seemed perhaps as numerous but less voluminous. He did not suffer a violent bout of pre-bed vomiting, which is a first for this week. He was up on his feet more than usual today and we actually spent some great moments diving off the couch onto cushions on the floor. Like I said, I think today was a turning point.
So, thanksgiving is in order for today’s prayers. Praise God for answering our prayers for a strong and enduring engraftment, praise him for some relief from the rotavirus, praise him for JT’s improved spirits. Please continue to pray for protection and complete healing, especially as our little family reunion is coming up next week…thanks!
