e@home: First Visit with Doctor

With another CBC, we met one of the hematologists overseeing Ensay's condition.  Other than the platelet counts back down to 5k, there were no updates but the doctor did explain deeper into the bone marrow biopsy results which was helpful to us.  He said that over time they can narrow things down but it's a bit too early in the treatment process so we made another appointment early next week to look for more specific indicators.

Waiting open-ended is one of most excruciating things not because of waiting but not knowing how long to wait for.  As I was reflecting on this passage -- Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies. If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know; but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him. (1 Corinthians 8:1-3) -- I realized that as much as I desire to have the knowledge of my future, God is not interested in that.  He wants me to be known by Him and be totally satisfied with that alone.  Ensay is known by God for sure and that is not only a total comfort but something to praise God about.

I PRAY that through this journey, Ensay's faith will of knowing that he is known by God solidifies more and more.

wow report -- Still more and more saints are letting us know they are praying for Ensay.  What a privilege it is to be surrounded by so many prayer warriors.

This morning, I was at Silicon Valley Prayer Breakfast (as I am part of the leadership team) event and shared with one of my spiritual mentor about Ensay's condition.  After the event he came up to me and told me that one of his guests who was an officer of the local police department shared that his teenage son had some blood disorder 2 years ago and was on some treatment.  His church and his community service members lifted him up through prayers fervently and six months ago, the doctors basically told them the "disease" is no more.  So when my mentor shared that there is another dad in here who's going through the same thing he took down my son's name and will have the same community of people to pray for him.  That's a wow for sure.
