Wow, what a day ! Last Monday the Doctor said that Michael's blood counts were at 492. When they fall below 500 then we have to stay out of crowds and limit visitors. The Doctor also said his counts needed to be between 750 and 1000 in order to receive his chemo treatment for today. Drum roll please ......... today his counts were at 938 !!!!We have been praying all week long and went to church on Sunday just to show them what God can do !!! Michael had radiation treatment nbr 11 this morning, with NO, I said NO side effects so far. The Doc is shaking her head, she can't figure out why, but we'll let her in on the secret weapon if she promises to believe !!! We're spending the day at the hospital to receive chemo treatment nbr 4. As of 7:00 pm guess what, NO, I said NO side effects. What can we say, God is good ... all the time. We'll spend the night for observation and go home in the morning. Of course we're not foolishly boasting, but God really is in control of our every move, if we'll agree to step out of the boat onto the water when He calls our name; WOW, talk about an experience that will take your breath away .... try trusting God for 100% of your life. By the way, did we mention that a week ago Sunday night, Michael got up with Mickey in church and sang a special - Mansion Over The Hilltop.
