Hope Makes Dreams Come True

At this point in Jerry's treatment for the transplant working and the AML to go into remission, there are no clear cut signs in Jerry's blood count. Yet there are some encouraging signs - The transplant has not been rejected as yet. They had to give Jerry a transfusion of platelets yesterday, and they seemed to maintain a high level which they said was a good sign. The doctors are still encouraged with Jerry's progress with no problems to date.
We feel full of hope at this time.

Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Tears came into Jerry's eyes yesterday and he said, "Dare I hope?"

I asked him what he was going to do when he got well. He said the first things he was going to do is to go to church and sit in our pew and wave his hanky and sit there praising God. Then he's going to drive his little red truck, hunt whatever is in season, and spend lots of time with family, friends, and GRANDKIDS!!!

We love you and please continue praying!
