Yesterday was a relatively good day for Dad. His counts were up and towards the end of the day the doctor informed us his liver is doing much better. The liver is the only organ that is capable of natural regeneration so even as little as 25% of a liver can regenerate into a whole liver. How complex the human body is! We praise God for this!
Dad sat up in a chair again this morning. He is still quite weak but with help can get out of bed and it nice to see him able to do this more and more each day. He's now singing a little bit with the cd I have playing, he likes to sing along in harmony. This is classic Dad and is nice to hear!
His counts are a little lower today but he was dehydrated yesterday so the extra fluid they are giving him has altered his counts a bit. We are hoping by Monday he will back to having his kidneys functioning better again too.
There is not much else to report; we are so very thankful to the Almighty Healer that Dad is much better than last Saturday. He gave us all a good scare last weekend and since then has definately moved in the right direction. There will still be rough days ahead but we are trusting in our Lord for his guidance and protection. Psalm 23 has come to mind this week and has been a comfort!
