We do trust in Him and have poured out our hearts to Him and He has heard our prayers.
Bobby's lab results were GREAT. His numbers hadn't changed from last week. We expected a significant drop in his white blood cell count. The white blood cells, aka leukocytes, fight disease and infections. The chemo isn't selective in killing only cancer cells so as the white blood count drops the chance of infection rises. We don't want infection. So we and he were really happy that the numbers were good. He's also had such a good week. Feeling the best he's felt for a long time. He even asked for his car back. He's feeling good enough to drive.
Bobby is diligent with his supplements, nutrition and exercise. This chemo infusion only took 1 1/2 hours and then the three of us went for a long walk to get the chemo circulating throughout his body and into the bone. Even though it was an 80+ day he has to cover up as much as possible (he cheated with the shorts) because the chemo makes him very susceptible to sunburn. He always has his big ol cancer hat.
We are praying this week and this infusion will be as successful as last week.
We're overwhelmed by the number of people praying for our son. We're very thankful for friends and family and even people we've never met going to our Father on his behalf.
