Jeremy’s counts continue to be down, but doctors tell us it is expected and may not come back up until sometime next week.

And praise God, he is still fever free and eating well.

Jeremy woke up pleasantly this morning, rubbing his belly.

Jeremy: “My baby moving.”
Us: “It is??”
Jeremy: “Yeah.”
Us: “Is it a boy or girl?”
Jeremy: “Boy.”
Us: “What’s his name?”
Jeremy: “Dai dai.”

Doctors came to assess him and told us his platelets were low, so they gave him a transfusion today. This recovery period is very much a numbers game and we eagerly await each lab result, hoping that each day his counts will go up and that they consist only of good cells.

Please continue to pray:

• that God would continue to use this situation for His glory
• that we would be obedient to God’s plans for this situation
• that we would continue to cast our worries and fears on the Lord
• that God would provide full and complete healing and total health for Jeremy
• that the regenerating bone marrow would produce only good white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets
• that the bone marrow aspirate at the end of this first block of treatment would show no leukemia cells (that Jeremy would be in remission)
• that we would not see any more fevers for the duration of Jeremy’s recovery
• that Jeremy’s appetite would continue to improve so we can avoid giving him nutrients through the IV
• that the rash under the dressing on his central line site would go away and that it is not a result of infection
