Day 29 & 30: Home for the weekend (:

4pm.

And Nigel's finally home.

For the first time in 59 days.

All his blood counts are still on the downward trend.

We'll be back on Monday for the next blood count at 9 am.

Both him and I.

So please do keep our blood counts in prayer.

He's scheduled for transfusions of red blood cells and platelets in the afternoon.

We should also be getting the chimerism test results then.

We're praying for dominant donor cells.

For the first time in a long while,

we don't have numbers.

They aren't defining our emotions.

There's a feeling of wild abandon in this sudden freedom. (:

I'll be first to say that we're all still sitting on edge,

the thoughts on the back of our minds as we watch him move around the house,

as we watch him take his temperatures thrice daily,

as we see him follow his menu of medicines.

So we continue to pray.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

We do not know what we ought to pray for, 

but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,

because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.

Romans 8: 26-27

We'd just like to say thank you.

For walking alongside us, covering us in prayer. (:

In His love and ours,

Brenda & Nigel.
