So here's the latest news:
- All of Ian's liver counts have gone up since last week. Not significantly, but we were hoping they would continue to go down instead of back up. Definitely no chemo this week. Even so, we are deeply grateful for those who quickly responded and volunteered to take Ian if we had needed it. Please pray for his liver to heal from whatever is causing these elevated LFT's.
- Ian now has what looks like an infection in his central line, so we spent the afternoon today sitting in the infusion room getting IV antibiotics instead of chemotherapy. He began an extra two week round of oral antibiotics tonight as well. Hopefully we are catching it early. Seeing the tube coming out of his chest makes me quiver enough as it is, but the redness and oozing and high probability of infection really makes my skin crawl and heart ache. They are considering taking the central line out of his chest completely this next week since he is no longer taking IV medications regularly. Please pray the infection clears up quickly and completely and does not spread any further.
Thank you!
We'll pray for you guys on our roof tonight...that's the spot we like to pray with the Ganga flowing nearby and the moon above. May God continue to hold you and sustain you through this long dark walk. Much love...Leaf & Brendan
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy. By Your power would you cover Ian's liver and make it well. Would You pour into the antibiotics and clear up this infection quickly. Would You show Christy and Ian how to lean up against You on this long, long journey. They need You to carry their weight.
ReplyDeleteLove you and praying with you, Shanti and the guys
