Hi all, Please give God a shout of praise today!!  Rand had labs today and his platelets are making their own, his white count is coming up, hemoglobin is hanging in there, his magnesium is perfect, his creatine is as low as it has ever been and he GAINED two pounds!!!!  Pretty good stuff don't ya think.   He also had an echo-cardiogram of his heart and everything looks perfect there.  He also had an ultrasound of his blood clots and all is well there. too.  So thanks be to God for all the great stuff today.  Tomorrow is a ultrasound of his kidney and liver, and Friday is a bone marrow biopsy . If Rand's platelets continue to go up Dr. Yannik said he would take the "port" our of his arm after the bone marrow biopsy.  That will be wonderful to have that removed.    We are believing and praying that the kidney and liver are perfect and that the bone marrow will contain 100% of Cindy's bone marrow.  We just can't give God enough of our thankfulness and praise for all the goodness that He has given us.  We are just so blessed to have all of you praying and believing right along with us and claiming the promises God has given us.  Dr. Yannik is so pleased and we want to make sure that he sees God's work and glory through this whole journey through the wilderness that we have been on.  We want them all to know that God is the Greatest Physician of them all!! Blessings, Rand and Joanie
