November 29, 2009. Day 19. Another great day!

Jeremy's wbc is in the normal range!
Yesterday he told me he wants some home made cooking and asked if
I could make him a tuna sandwich, of all things:) You would have thought I brought him a filet mignon the way he was drooling over it! haha! I am so glad he actually has an appetite. Tomorrow he wants an egg salad sandwich!

Three of his Dr.s came in today and they were all very pleased with his decreasing levels and that the abscess is still draining. They are talking about just doing an ultra sound instead of a ct scan so he won't have to have the contrast that damages his kidneys. It will depend on what the ultra sound shows though.

He was actually able to sleep some last night. His legs are sore but we did another 9 laps today! His thrush is a lot better and his rash is better but it is still bad on his arms and legs. He wanted me to take a picture to show you:)


Pastor Brad Ormonde came today. He prayed and visited with us. One thing he said that really hit me was the verse that says, "be still and know that I am God." God is on the throne and He is in control, that gives me such a peace. In the mornings Jeremy and I have a time of devotions and I read to him, it is such a precious time with each other and the Lord. Today we were reminded that we go through trials to either bring us back to the Lord or to strengthen our faith. Like Jon Courson said, "...He's using it to make your life into a beautiful trophy of His grace." That is our prayer. Jeremy said that because of this trial he is so much more grateful for the the suffering Jesus endured because of his intense love for us, and that he died so we can have eternal life. "But God demonstrates his own lovefor us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8.

God is good!

"The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace."

Numbers 6:24-26
