Enjoying the freedom

Mitch has been enjoying freedom from the hospital for almost 48 hours now. We've been enjoying sweet fellowship with one another without the constant beeping of the IV machine or regular interruption of nurses & other care-giving staff. Matt teased Mitch & Chelsea that they will have to learn how to relate with one another as a married couple outside of the four walls of the hospital room.

Each day requires a visit to the outpatient cancer clinic for blood work. His first visit back to that clinic included an appointment with a new doctor and PA. New medical supervision is always quick to remind us that Mitch's situation is very serious. Even with the good progress he's made, his condition is tenuous. As I've mentioned many times, he must fit the perameters stipulating remission before he's approved for transplant. Our prayers only increase as the doctors hesitate to offer much hope. After those conversations, I often think of 1 Corinthians 1:25, "The foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of men ...".

We keep asking God to show His glory and work a big miracle. Thanks for joining us in that prayer.

P.S. If you haven't yet seen Matt's blog and can take a minute to read it ... today's article, "Release Shock", particularly blessed me. There's a link in the right column of this page.
