Wednesday 6/21 10 pm Update
The day started great this morning. Julia did great fasting and had energy to paint at the clinic. Her blood work numbers are looking amazing. She went from 6 days ago having only 24K platelets to today 262K (normal range 155K-400K) it was significant to have this count today because the two surgical procedures. A low platelets count requires transfusions to avoid bleeding. Today she was clear šš¼
Procedure started at 12:29pm - they were done by 1pm.
Sheās currently in a lot pain, unable to stand on her legs and lots of discomfort when seated. Pain should cease in ~24 hours .
Whatās next? Waiting for the bone marrow risk results within the next couple of days (Friday/Saturday). Praying for āzeroā cancer cells detected in her bone marrow.
In order for Julia to start the next stage of treatment āConsolidationā her ANC (Neutrophils count) needs to be at 750. As of today she was at 380. Six days ago she was only at 90ā¦ we can see bone marrow recovery, but she still has a number to get to (750) by next week Wednesday 6/28.
Thank you for praying for our little sunshine! I am so grateful for many of you reaching out with encouragement and telling me you are praying. It means the world to me. God in His faithfulness uses many of you to remind me that He is present, and will never leave us or forsake us.
āāMy thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,ā says the Lord. āAnd my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. āThe rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands! Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the Lordās name; they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.āā
