April 4th- Prayers are needed

The Leukemia is back with a vengeance. Bill’s liver counts are 10 times above normal. For those who understand. SGOT is 340 and SGPT is 318. He is being sent for a CT scan this evening and I won’t have results until Saturday afternoon. It could be several things.
His white cells and Neutrophils are increasing, and they could be fighting an infection.
His catheter could be causing a problem.
His liver may be compromised
The only discomfort Bill has today is from the double bone marrow biopsy performed this morning. Two extractions were taken. One for the hospital, and one for the clinical study.
The catheter is not bothering him.
Bill is very much aware of what is happening and seeks your prayers and love at this time.

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer.
It sings because it has a song.

Bill always has a song to sing.

We will all sing a prayerful song - with and for Bill.

Prayers continue - you are always in our thoughts.

Love, and many, many songful prayers,
Gail

I'm hoping that you get the most positive possible news tomorrow. Bill has come so far, and we all know he has the will to go farther. He's scrappy! This is just another hitch in the road.

You are both always in our thoughts.

Love,
Janet and John

Please tell Bill I am praying here in AZ. It's time for my night prayers and he will be my special intention, that's for sure.

Stay strong and feel God's strength and love around you.

Today we will pray harder than ever. You both are the strongest people I know.
You know I wish I was there to just hold you hand.
