This morning was tough. When I got to the hospital The porters had just arrived to take John down to X-ray. He was very congested, having trouble breathing and very shaky. He has had fever all day. That was expected. He was having a lot of back pain. When we got back to his room they gave him the magic deliquefying medicine. I also think that prayer really helped here. Within a half of an hour his breathing was much better. The build up of the congestion comes from the IV solutions. Some of the bone pain is from the injections that he gets to boost his white blood counts. We got a copy of his blood work and his white counts are (.08) which is basically nothing. I don't know how long before the counts go up again but it will be none too soon for me. Please pray that he will remain stable through the night.

We are glad to here that John is doing better, Just wanted to let you know that we love you and you are in our prayers.
we will definitely pray for him and will continue to do so as you keep us informed. Well, even if you don't we will pray but it's so good to know specifics. Love you lots.
John, I will pray so hard for you. I am sitting here crying because I miss you, Mom, David and Carolyn and the boys and Sue...the list goes on. We pray for you every morning in the staff room. Even if I'm not there yet, the other teachers pray for you. I love you and wish I could be there to come have coffee and brauken with you. Man that would taste good.
"Lord, I lift up my brother John today. Please, Lord, put your hand upon him and take the pain from his bones. Also be with Chris and the kids. This is so hard for me to be this far away, it must be excruciating for Becky, who so badly wants to be there with him. Give her an extra hug today, Lord. I pray that you would bring this family cose to each other and close to you. In Jesus name, amen"
I love you John. This might seem really corny, but it's the closest I can get to praying with you.
Margaret,
That is so touching.
Now I'm in tears.
Cousin,
M.K.
