Trying to Boost White Cells

Because Susette's white blood cell count was abnormally low, she has had to go to UCLA for the last four days for daily shots of Nupagin, a drug that helps build white blood cells to fight off infection. The drug apparently generates new white cells through bone marrow, causing achey bones and joints. Susette had a particularly difficult time sleeping last night and said it felt like she had Denge fever (called the break bone disease) again -- a horrible disease we both had in Haiti.

Today we go in for tests and a consultation with her doctor to see if her white cell count is back up. Please pray for her. Thanks.

DEAR SUSETTE AND BILL:

WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO JESUS FOR YOU AND CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIS HEALING.

YOU ARE FULFILLING WHAT HE SAID IN ISAIAH 58: 7. WE BELIEVE THE PROMISE THE LORD MADE IN VS. 8,9 TO BE FOR YOU. HOLD FAST AND KEEP PRAISING!

WE LOVE YOU!
