A POSITIVE REPORT

Samuel completed his 11th Chemo treatment last week, and also has another CT Scan done on his chest and lungs. The report from the scan is positive. Everything is cleared. Praise the Lord.

GCSF jab was done to boost up Sam's white cell growth and improve his immunity. The health situation at home is not ideal. Claire and Caleb have been coughing and I am on antibiotics for an inflamed throat. So we need prayer for protection for Sam. Thanks.

The next chemo...

My eyes well with tears when I thought of a friend who lost his 18 years old son suddenly a few weeks ago. The pain and sorrow that he and his wife is currently undergoing is beyond words.

It reminds me of the devastation that both Claire and myself went thru almost 9 months ago when Samuel was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma. I looked at Sam now, and I can't help but to give thanks to the Lord for keeping the boy with us. It has been a 9 months journey, with 10 chemo treatments, 1 major surgery, countless consultations and rehabilitation visits to the hospitals and Sam is on his way to recovery. There are 4 more chemo treatments to go, but we are convinced that the Lord has already healed.

This week, Sam will go for his 11th chemo treatment, and there will be a follow up CT scan during his stay in the hospital. Although the dosage of the chemo drugs has been reduced, the anti emetic drug was also correspondingly reduced. That results in Sam constant vomitting during treatment. Please continue to uphold Samuel I prayer during his treatment this week.

Thank you.
