Fever and Blood

As ready as we are to get out of the hospital and be able to fly to Michigan, we are thankful Luka is still under a close watch of his doctors. Last night Luka got a fever again and vomited a couple times. He was not feeling well at all. We were so surprised because he was doing so well and had such a good day. I was amazed how quickly my heart went to worry and fear again. Again I was crying out to God for Luka's healing. Am I failing to learn something God wants to teach me? How many times do we need to go through this?

They took blood again this morning to check the toxin levels, hemoglobin (blood), and also looking for an infection. We already found out his hemoglobin is down to 7.5 again so we are now preparing for his third blood transfusion. We called a missionary friend to come and donate blood and he is on his way. Hopefully this will keep Luka's blood level high enough to fly next week.

-Keep praying for Luka! He is doing well but not done with this all.
-Pray for his fever and whatever is causing it to be healed.
-Pray that his hemoglobin stays above 10 after this blood transfusion.
-Pray for all of us as we are getting quite bored around here - not complaining just ready to be with family and friends again. We need to rest in God's timing.
-Thank God our girls and everyone arrived safely in Grand Rapids yesterday!
