Yay!

Today I got Andrew's new IgG number! It is 1070 - over 1000!!!! It started out as 187 which was not only bad, but it was "alarming" per the doctor! He has responded so well and so quickly. We keep praying these treatments are only temporary. Please pray for his CBC. It was a tiny bit low last time (3 months ago) and even lower this time, but we will just keep an eye on that. This is a HUGE milestone, and we are so thankful and grateful!

I was reminded the other week when reading a book that God's strength can be, is, and will be very or more evident when we are at our weakest. I feel like sometimes I have been in the hole, ditch, pit, or whatever for so long that I may never climb out. God can get me out and set me on a rock, if I let Him. It's a promise in the Bible.

So Sam's numbers and Andrew's new numbers are great encouragement to some weary warriors. Thanks for all of the prayers and encouragement. We know where our strength comes from - and it's not from ourselves!

I used to think if I just knew for sure I was on the right track with something I could go forward full force. I think we are on the right track with Sam. We are getting there with Andrew. I know some things are, and I still wonder about others. But I am really getting a lesson in God's timing versus my own. His time is worth waiting for - just easier said than done.

Thanks again! I look at some precious people struggling this week and pray that they will have the reminders set before them that are so often set before me. I don't always feel victorious even when I know I should. Sometimes it's okay not to feel okay and just to rest in Him and let Him bring the peace that passes all understanding. He is the only One who can do it anyway! And I will be reading this soon to remind even myself.
