We are Rejoicing: Answered Prayers

Our God is faithful and we are rejoicing today.


Nathan's bilirubin has gone down to 7, and his ANC is 1329!!!!  Tomorrow will be the third day over 500 and ENGRAFTMENT DAY!  His weight has gone down (which is good), he is losing some of the fluid he was retaining.  The swelling in his belly has also gone down, and is less painful.  They will decrease his pain medication for the third time. 


We are so thankful for everyone's prayers.  God has answered our prayers.  


He is receiving speech therapy to learn how to eat again.  It is a very slow process.  He ate 3 ounces over three feedings yesterday.  They have delayed putting Nathan back on the IV nutrition for one mare day.  Please pray he starts eating again.  The IV nutrition is hard on the liver, and also makes him not want to eat.


This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
