So we still await the results of the chimerism test, we hope by next Wednesday we will finally know!
John's doctor today said all of John's platelet and white cell counts are "fantastic" and this quick rise back to having healthy counts is indicative of there being some healthy bone marrow working in him; but is it Ian's or John's?
It seems highly unlikely that John's immune system has any strength after the chemotherapy but we are trying to just wait for celebrations until we have the official test results.
John is doing well, back to feeling very normal. He has begun to get up with me when I go to work and has begun to work on some of his ministry teaching as well as brushing up on his Saxophone- He is hoping to begin composing new music this year so perhaps when this is all over he can do a concert! He is also learning electric guitar and begining to play the flute again- He will be quite the one man band.
As for me (Amanda) I am with YWAM everyday, even though my wonderful DTS students have now left to go on outreach. I am helping out around the base, mainly this week with hospitality. We have a youth group from New Jersey visiting this weekend so we will be training them in Evangelism and then hitting the streets with them! On Monday I will get a day of rest with John :)
It's hard to believe it's been 45 days since transplant, at times it has seemed slow but these past 20 days have flew by. God is so good, he is with us.
