MAY 5

DAY 14
Today, we met with Dr. Johnston to discuss Gary's care from this point on. Gary will still need a few days of lab work done since he is being "let go" earlier than the 21 day mark. Because of this, Gary opted to leave his central line in until Monday. Dr. Johnston will need to see Gary on the 100 day mark, which will be the last week of July. After these few more days of blood work, Gary will no longer need to be monitored every day! He can stop wearing the mask, unless in a place where it might be wise to do so. The doctor said he is doing great!

We are still in a little shock, realizing that at this moment in time, Gary is cancer free. It seems like it has been a lifetime since his diagnosis. He will still need to be careful about catching anything and it will be a long time before he will have his strength back, but at least we know we are on the downhill run now. Thank you so much for your prayers!

  1. Wow! Praise God. Answered prayers. God is amazing.

    As one song says:

    "He's more wonderful than my mind can conceive
    He's more wonderful than my heart can believe
    He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams
    He's everything that my soul ever longed for
    Everything He'd promised and so much more
    More than amazing
    More than marvelous
    More than miraculous could ever be
    He's more than wonderful
    That's what Jesus is to me."

    We love to pray for you because you loved Filipinos.
