Before Bed

Dad just finished his last round of chemo tonight.  The next few weeks, the risks are bleeding to death or succumbing to infection, as his body has no immune system from the white blood cells and platelets being wiped out.  Please pray, if God wills, that his body will gain strength and be protected from internal infection and bleeding as it recovers.  They also found a clot today right near his main line, which was used to cycle the blood out of and back into his body during pheresis, so please pray that it will dissolve without doing any damage. 

Mom and Dad have had a fairly good week.  They're having some sweet fellowship together as husband and wife, without the distractions and to-do's of home life, and they've already met many people with whom to share and celebrate the Good News.

I apologize for the mechanical post.  I'm awfully tired and heading for bed, and though I don't have enough energy to flesh out a proper post, I wanted to update those of you who are faithfully praying for him.  Thank you. Your prayers are precious, and knowing that others care for Dad, many of whom haven't even met him, is a comfort.  The unity of the universal Church is clear when such as you love across the miles.
