The Latest on James

We received the results from the last platelet count and James' platelets where up to 87,000 form 48,000. This is good news, but normal count would be at least 150,000. The doctor said it was unusual for platelets to rise while weaning off medication, but we of course live in the unusual or miraculous, however you choose to see it. James has been off the medication for almost a week now and we will go for another blood count next thursday to see if the platelets are holding, increasing, or falling. Holding or increasing would both be good news so please pray for that. If it shows they are falling, then it would mean staying here and receiving more treatment.
