The Journey Continues: Update on the last Update and 80 days out.

Richard is feeling better since he got his blood yesterday.  He did get 2 units because his counts had dropped below 7.  He also got a shot for his white counts being low.  I guess everything was low including his spirits.  I think that with his counts being that low he just felt bad.  He couldn't understand what was going on since he had been doing well then he started having the low white counts, which they blamed on the medicines. Then this week his red blood counts were low.  The Dr. had stated on Wednesday that what he was going through was normal at this stage in his recovery and that it could mean that his system was in the midst of changing completely over.

He was really discouraged and tired but getting that blood has given him more energy than he has had in several weeks.  What really lifted his spirits though and has changed his mood is the fact that they were able to give him A+ blood.  This means his immune system is changed!!!

Just thought I would let you know what a difference the gift of blood can do.  I know One who not only gave His blood but also His life. He rose again and paved the way for salvation.  His blood will change you and reserve a spot in heaven.  His name is Jesus and He did this for you and for me.

JESUS is the ultimate mood lifter!!  One day those who have chosen Jesus will  completely change over!!

1 Corinthians 15:52

New International Version (NIV)

in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
