New Numbers

April 5, 2013

Wow!  I visited Dr. G. yesterday and we had a TALK!!!

He was in the mood to talk sports … we are about the same age, and he likes to engage me because the other doctors don’t know who you’re talking about when you say “John Havlicek” or “Oscar Robertson.”

Anyway, I was anxious to discuss what Dr. Solomon, the transplant specialist, had proposed … a tandem transplant.  Dr. G. related that they had talked, and that my numbers were so good right now that he wasn’t even recommending a transplant.

Here are some numbers:  was 3.2, now 1.9 (normal, under 2.5);  was 1860, now 1111 (normal, under 1500)

Needless to say, we are excited.  Patty had been discouraged after talking to Dr. Solomon, but she was back up yesterday.  We are also up because our baby, Ashley, is about to give birth to our 7th grandchild.  We are READY!

God is so good.  I’m so grateful for the Lord’s healing and keeping presence in our lives.  Prayer and faith in Christ, juicing organic vegetables, drinking “Essiac” tea, cutting out most sugars and “crap,” getting rest and exercise … I’m a regular 300 lb. Jack LaLanne here.

Jesus, we are overcomers because of YOU.  Thank you, thank you.

    HELLO DEAN, What great news!! GOD is good, HE is good all the time. I immediately remember that day in Findlay, OH at grandma B’s house and you got that phone call and then thanking the Lord. Grandma then prayed, I will never forget. GOD is good.
