The doctor started to wean him off the medication and thus far Ensay's body's been responding well and is sustaining the blood counts. We truly praise God for allowing this healing.
Just over a year ago our family was in a drastically different situation upon Ensay's encountering of severe aplastic anemia. But considering it all, we are in a situation that only God could have allowed us to be in today and we're very grateful for that.
Currently, the medication dosage had been reduced to about half of what he started out with and yet his body has been sustaining the blood counts. We still have many months before he will be completely off the medication but we're definitely on a good path. Many of your concerns and prayers have and are making a huge difference -- thank you all.
The "angel" gift from our daughter, Hannah, to mom is shown in the picture in front of this month's calendar picture of a lady giving praise and praying in front of a cross. The inscription on the ornament reads, "God takes care of our needs and surrounds us by His Grace." How appropriate it is for me to be reminded every day as I gaze upon this scene in our bathroom.
Additionally, in my daily reading from 1 Samuel 13:8 -- Now he waited seven days, according to the appointed time set by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him. -- I was reminded that even when God is late to His appointment with me I need to stay on my course of trusting Him and not take matters into my own hands as if God had forgotten about me. Saul, out fear, crossed his boundaries as a king disobeying God who desire obedience than sacrifices from us. Many moment when I have felt God may have forgotten about our situation, I need to remember this passage a stay on course of pursuing after His heart without wavering.
