postponement of stem cell harvesting ...

Today Samuel's blood count was too low for stem cell harvesting.
As a matter of fact, all his blood types have dipped.
HB was so low that encologist made him go through a
blood transfusion today.

Now back home ... tentatively
to admit on Wed pending more positive blood count then.

Thank God, encologist confirmed that his lungs are cleared based on CT report.

However, we can only know the outcome of the latest MRI report
pending our appointment with the surgeon (a visiting consultant who comes in
on Wed only) on 5th Oct earliest. In between this appointment, there will be
stem cell harvesting and 5th chemo.

Please support us in praying that :

- there will be no further delay in treatment, Samuel's blood count can recover
  on time and no more complications

- if God is willing and in HIS timing,  that we will be able to meet the Surgeon earlier
  (possibly this Wed) to review results and even discuss surgery to remove the
  primary tumour from his right calf if the condition is favourable already

- Samuel to be obedient enough to sleep earlier and not reject hospital food
   today, he insists on the home cooked food only

- God binds us to Him and our family together even more to walk in faith and truth ...
