Reverse!

We have seen an incredible turnaround since my last post. Nic's fever broke and has stayed down, his bacterial cultures are negative, and he is no longer neutropenic (in danger of getting sick from the bacteria in his body already). His blood has a long long way to go to reach his normal, but it is moving in the right direction. Praise God and thank you for all of your prayers! Please continue to pray that his blood counts would improve and that his body would effectively fight off any germs it encounters.

I was so excited to call Jeff and tell him the news that we might be able to come home today or tomorrow, and when I told him he started laughing and let me know that our furnace is broken, it is fifty four degrees and falling in our house, and that he was waiting for the repairman to call back. When it rains it pours. If you wouldn't mind, would you pray for this situation? Nic's immune system is still low, and so he really needs a home to come back to, not a germy hotel. If our pipes burst we are going to be in a world of trouble. Just what we needed for Christmas.
