I am so grateful for all of the emails, calls and texts to say that you were praying for Jonathan and Caitlin! In Jonathan and Caitlin's words "If this many people are praying and we know that our God is the God that hears, then He has to be up to something we just cannot see."
A big praise, Jonathan was able to come home from the hospital on Thursday! They ran a lot of tests and ended up doing a bone marrow biopsy (which is not fun at all...this is not his first go around that this), to try to find out why Jonathan's red blood cell count continued to go down even with the medication he was receiving to push it up!
On Thursday it had come up a little...not at all to the level it needs to be at...but it did come up. The doctors are continuing to give him the medications to boost the blood cell count and he will be checked again on Monday. They are also waiting on the final results of the bone marrow biopsy.
So, I am so glad that Jonathan and Caitlin get to be at home and sleep...rather than in the hospital...I am beyond grateful to see the way God's people are covering them with prayers...knowing God can do ANYTHING!
As for right now they are still able to hold off on a blood transfusion...and we are grateful for that.
Some prayers we are praying:
-Prayer for healing for Jonathan
-That his red and white counts would go way up!
-Caitlin's kidney would be healthy
-If there is a better match/donor out there we can find them
The verse that God has put in my head for so many things over the past year...and so much this week has been
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more that all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us..." Ephesians 3:20
A great reminder that God can and does do more than we could ever ask for...that is great hope and a great promise! It does not always look like how we pictured things in our mind...but that is the great part!
Thank you so much for your prayers!
