It's All Good

What a difference a good night's sleep and taking a new perspective makes. This morning I counted all the blessings in my life that I could think of. There are so many. I am so blessed.

Jim is doing well. His counts are all slowly rising, except for his platelets which dropped only a little. There was no need for any transfusions today. The doctor who did rounds this morning told Jim that as soon as his counts were high enough, he could be discharged. That might not mean tomorrow, but we will take it day by day and see where his counts are. He is thrilled with the new medicine for his mouth. He was able to eat solid foods to the first time today. And he is grateful for those who visit him.

The big praise is that Steven is feeling better. The symptoms he experienced yesterday seemed to subside and his fever didn't return. He is feeling much better today. We believe that is a direct answer to prayer because we have seen him go the other way when symptoms like that appear.

Thank you for your prayers and concern for our family. Thanks for the meals and treats and phone calls and well wishes. Our wonderful friends and family were among the blessings I counted today.
