Waiting for God's Timing

Grant went to the clinic this morning and saw Dr. Heym. He was getting his numbers checked and hoped to start treatment today. He needed to reach the all-important ANC of 750. He was up from 80 last week to 210 today. Obviously not good enough to start treatment, but improving. Dr. Heym was still not concerned and said this is common. Again, we were a little disappointed. Dr. Heym said that Grant looked great and is otherwise healthy. All of Grant's other numbers were on the rise and he will not return until next Monday to try again. We are trusting that God's timing is perfect. We may never know why He is allowing Grant to wait another week, but we trust that He is Sovereign.
Grant is actually feeling really well. He does not have a bunch of drugs in his system. The only medication he is taking right now is an antibiotic to help prevent pneumonia. He is eating much better, which showed on the scales today. This is the first time his weight has increased since he has been off the steroids. He is still having a little trouble sleeping through the night and he is awake at the crack of dawn. But, he doesn't seem to be tired. And so we wait again......
