He had a great third day and dad got to come home today. Everything seems to be going right on track and dad is still responding great to treatment. We are about to head into the toughest part of this whole process, so it's time to step up those prayers! Although, we already know God is already there and in control! For the next week or so dad will be taking these shots that will prepare his body for the blood transfusion (the first step of the bone marrow transplant). These shot cause his bone to ache and cramp up real bad causing him a lot of pain. Then starting may 6th they will start checking him daily to see when his body is ready for the transfusion. The doctors predict he will be ready anywhere between may 8-10th. Once he's ready he will have the transfusion done, then be admitted for his fourth chemo, and then be admitted for three weeks for the heavy portion of the bone marrow transplant.
Please continue to pray for this process and all the physical and emotional burdens it will bring. I pray that God would be our strength!
I have a special prayer request tonight. A family very dear to our hearts, the Abreus, are going through a very difficult time and we ask that your pray vigorously for them during this time. Ralph Abreu suffered a heart failure last night and was put in an induced comma once at the hospital. Please pray for a miraculous healing, and strength!
I encourage everyone to pray big and pray boldly! Never forget that we serve a huge God and no prayer request is out of Him reach!
