Day 267 - September 9th

James is doing well. Lab values show his white blood cell counts are in the normal range and that his kidneys are improving. Great news! Also, the lab values indicate improvement in his ability to make blood. This is another very good sign. Overall, he is doing very well. Thank you for continuing to pray for James. Here is a list of some things we can specifically pray for.
Healing that is necessary for the transfer to Rehab and patience to wait it out.
No delays in transfer - he has been disappointed by previous transfer dates that have failed to be realized.
Physical strength to endure 3 hours of daily physical and occupational (hand) therapy. Pray specifically for improvement to his hands - this is especially frustrating in trying to do the simplest tasks.
Pray for wisdom for the doctors and physical therapists.
Pray for the hospital to allow him an eye doctor visit. His infections have hindered this trip to the building next door.
Relief from phantom pain.
Spiritual strength.
Thank you for your faithful prayers!
