Morning Mr. BM!!!

20121112 Monday – I think Mr. BM (Bone Marrow) is waking up!!!  It’s actually a very good news.  It means that Mom’s BM is recovering and showing signs of responses to the chemo therapy.  Her neutrophil was 0.02 on Saturday, then 0.06 on Sunday, 0.19 on today – it looks like it’s going up 300% each day.  If everything goes well, and if it’s part of His plan, she’ll see 0.6 tomorrow.

I arrived a little more than half an hour late tonight after Jolie’s birthday dinner.  Uncle Ed and Derek were there.  Mom looks very awake with energy.  She even “complained” why I was being so late.  I told her about Jolie’s birthday dinner.  She didn’t stop and kept going with a few other points like, “should’ve left earlier” and "everyone should know", etc., hahaha.  As usual, I didn’t stop either and we just kept going to a point it turned into a heated conversation!  Yup, this is how Mom and I communicate and it’s all good, hahaha.  I was taking all these “arguments” for granted before and I rather to have more if you know what I mean, hahaha.  God is always around us.  Keep praying that Mom's healing is part of His plan.  I found this air chamber similar to what Jake and Jonah used when they are sick, kinda cute.  

Thanks Auntie Tinnie/Uncle Jonathan for your soup and the super big shrimps!!!  Too bad I was so full or I would have finished them all before dropping them off, hahaha.  Auntie Tiana’s ribs are with me, however, cuz’ Mom was too full and I WANT THEM!!!  They’ll be my lunch tomorrow, thank you, hahaha!  Give thanks to the Lord our God and King, His love endures forever!!!

20121113 Tuesday – Thanks Karen for the McDonald sandwich!  When Mom woke up, she actually whined a little knowing that Dad had finished the whole thing without sharing, hahaha!  Sorry Mom, it’s partially my fault cuz’ when Karen mentioned McDonald’s, I only thought of Dad – you never liked it before!  No worries, I’ll "place my order" through Karen later this week, hahaha.  See, we have so many angels around us.  That's right; Mom’s appetite is back together with her blood works.  I was right; her neutrophil is 0.6 this morning!  Look what God has done...

This evening, Mom had a craving of this Chinese bakery (炸菜肉絲包) and not sure if it's the best, I found the second last one from TNT before heading down last night.

As you can see from the number table above, all her blood counts are climbing and it's the first time having 100+ on hemoglobin ever since October 11th!  Dad said Mom had fever the night before and was feeling cold and hot.  Her oxygen level dropped to less than 90 with heart rate up to 150+.  The ICU team from Mt. Sanai came adjusted the oxygen and asked her to use the mask.  Her heart rate came back to 128 after the nurse gave her some medication.  The ICU team actually came back two more times to double and triple check and guess what, they think her own neutrophil is fighting for the germs in her body.  They are working hard already!  The doctor confirmed it this morning that she may even get discharged next week if things keep improving!!!

All of a sudden, it reminds me of the slam dunk contest in 2000, "Let's go home"!  God is amazing, isn't it.  Glorify to Him!  He loves us so much with sufficient grace to each one of us.  Not more, not less but just enough.  Just simply trust and obey for there's no other way.  I really hope that this can be a testimony to some of you who's still not too sure.  Remember, we don't need to be perfect before we come to Him cuz' if we are, why would we need Him in the first place.  Don't stop praying cuz’ this is only the beginning.  His plan wouldn't stop here.  To be continued...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6)
