After many days of prayers, the bone marrow transplant (BMT) have not been able to bring us peace of mind. So we did not do the bone marrow transplant. The doctor said the chemotherapy treatment has been completed and he was very satisfied with the progress of Brian.
We are currently waiting for his blood count to return to normal, and after the completion of the rehabilitation program, we can go back to living a normal life like before.
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord! We might move to rehab on Monday if his ANC go up to 200 &up.
You are welcome to visit him in Rehab. We will let you know when.
God is in control of our lives. He sends spiritual authority -- the church, Pastors, zone and cell leaders, So many brothers & sisters, friends & families from all over the world to pray for Brian and support us along the way to lead with us so peacefully through every storm.
Regarding BMT, we are always seeking God's Devine Appointments to help us to make the wisest decision. Recently, there are many different proposals and sound. Please do not be discouraged if your current direction of prayer is different to our decision. We strongly believe no matter what we choose to do or not to do Bone marrow transplantation, God has taken the full responsibility of the healing for Brian. Amen!
We don't know why? All along, we are concerned the complication especially in case of graft failure is caused by the exclusion of the most serious consequences of .........
1. On 4-5-2011, we had a meeting with bone marrow transplant physician. At the beginning, we asked to record the meeting. The coordinate RN said OK. All the other doctors agree to be recorded. But this doctor refuse to let us record. ( It's not common. And we feel it's strange though.) The meeting took around 3 hours. When almost at the end, the doctor mentioned "GVHD( graft verses host disease)" and the opportunity for fatal rejection is very small. This is what we are concerned the most. Doctor said because the donor is silbling, so this will rarely happen. But, you know what? God sent our friend Vicky, Dr. Helen Huang and Pastor Kwan to attend our meeting. Vicky had a friend who got this fatal rejection 5 years ago after 3 months of BMT. He had lukemia, AML-M4, and his donor is his younger sister. What a coincidence! We believe this is the 1st Divine Appointment that God sent to block our BMT.
2. Another Devine Appointment --- 3 weeks ago, our brother Daniel give us a phone number of another brother whose kid was suffered the the same type of leukemia as Brian. Now that boy is healthy and strong after chemotherapy ( 11 years ago when he was 4 years old). He didn't do bone marrow transplant. Actually, we knew him long ago right before he suffered this disease. He used to be a classmate in Brian's pre-school DBC. Our God has prepared long ago to let us know each other. The parents visited us 2 days ago and brought us bright hope.
3. On 4-3-2011 in VOH( our church), we have a meeting with our 9 core prayers who had been prayed for our BMT for a long time. During the meeting, we strongly believed that God has healed Brian and will take the full responsibility for Brian's health. The most impressive in this meeting is
- - God on purposedly made our primary Dr. Gaynon to mix up our diagnose. So during the second and third chemotherapy, he misled us to picture that we can go home after all 4 chemotherapy (no need BMT, he said.) That's why we are hard to accept BMT and have more time to reconsider it.
We believe whatever we choose to do and not to do bone marrow transplant, Brian's life is in the hand of God. God is the greatest doctor. He will be responsible for the healing.
Through these considerations and confirmation, we believe God has healed Brian. We should not put him into another long months or even longer risk without guarantee. It is time to focus on physical therapy and rehabilitation and to return to normal life. God equipped us during this trial.
We shall come out to do the testimony and glorify his name.
Please continue to pray for Brian. Both of his eyes need to be back to 20/20. The whole body strength. Your mighty prayer will support us and bless the health of Brian. Please also pray for our whole family's life adjustment. Your prayer will make our lif easier.
Pray for peace and joy in you and us. May God bless you more abundantly.
Thank you once again, with the grace of you along the road, especially cozy.
Invite you to stand with us on the Word of God, pray and read aloud:

| 23:1 |
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

| 23:2 |
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
|
| 23:3 |
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
|
| 23:4 |
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
|
| 23:5 |
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

| 23:6 |
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
