Good news!!

I'm so very, very, VERY excited to announce Ian's counts are going up a little bit every day now! His fevers have stopped and his energy is slowly increasing. Each day is closer to him coming home, and boy are we looking forward to all being together again. I'm sure the doctors have plans for more chemo and biopsies and lymphocyte infusions in the very near future, but hopefully they will all be outpatient from here on out so we can be together through it all. 

Fiona came to visit Ian yesterday, seeing him for the first time in well over a month, and it was a perfect reunion. She had been begging day and night for a date with me to visit him in the "hopsible" and was missing him terribly. When we came into his room and washed our hands, at first she didn't know if she could touch him so she walked right up to him and just stood there hesitantly. Ian swooped her up into his arms and started weeping, and she held his hand and gazed lovingly into his eyes and wiped his tears. Oh it was the best, the sweetest, the tenderest moment I've ever witnessed. We only stayed for about an hour, but that hour was full of love so thick you could cut it with a knife. 

Asha has felt fine, but she has a lingering mystery cough so she will have to wait until Ian comes home to see him. Her birthday is this Sunday, and there is a sliver of a chance he may be able to come home that day. We don't expect it, but that sure would be sweet ❤️

Thank you all for your support of love and prayers and cards and meals. 

We are so blessed!
