Dear Prayer Warriors,
I still remember Sunday morning, 2 days ago. I was reading Brian's lab report and studying it with many of his reports from long ago. I tried to compare which way this lab will trend to. Then Dr. Fu came and said, " Well, you have no fever and you may go home today." " I remember you told me it won't be today, it should be Monday to discharge, isn't it?", I asked. She said, " His counts and ANC are doing good, he is free to go." That day ANC is 700. " But Brian complained he is very tired this morning.", I said. Dr. Fu responded " We can give him one bag of blood to make his HGB goes higher."
Brian said, " No need, it will make me even more tired because of the pre-med. Benadryl will make me sleep." Dr. Fu said," OK. I can see your red blood cell is producing. You will be fine."
You know what? Brian suddenly felt energetic, no more complaining tired. He expects go home for many days .......
I called Kevin Camitta, Brian's friend from kindergarten, " Kevin, you don't need to come today. We will go home this afternoon." But Kevin still insisted on visiting and helping to pack up. All of the Camitta family came before we leave.
What a valuable friendship!
Home sweet home! Brian feels relaxed and joyful. Eating gourmet food from Liu's kitchen ( including Antie Sally's wonton
soup). No wonder he said it's comfy and delicious home.
Tomorrow morning is the time to test the Bone Marrow. Please keep praying harder.
Pray for the bone marrow is clear without any bad cell. Leukemia free. Remission!!
God bless us all,
Mark & Anita
Thanks for your prayer.
