Day 121

John and I watching the Royal wedding!
The words of Psalm 139 have been such a comfort to us these past few days. Knowing that even though John is "complicated" for doctors, God formed him by His hand and that no part of John is hidden from Him.

At the end of the day we have learned over these months to trust only in God.

Another challenging few weeks. Just one week after John's fall he is back in hospital. 

On Monday 2nd May went to the hospital for a regular appointment for blood tests etc. John has been having chronic nose bleeds, which had only got worse in the previous days. These were a result of low platelets (clotting factor), a side effect of some of his medications. We spent the whole day trying to stop but nothing would work so with sadness we knew we would have to yet again go to the ER. While there John began coughing and the doctors seemed concerned. They ordered a chest x ray and found what is thought to be phenomena, he has been in Brigham and Women's hospital since.

Today he went for a bronchoscopy. We await the results. 

These struggles and hardships will only make John's future healing evermore sweet.
