求神保守讓Brian 11/4早晨的抽血檢查和健康狀況都能達到標準，以便進入骨髓移植的醫療程序。
Dear Families and Friends,
We know you all are waiting for further notice about BMT (Bone Marrow Transplant) date. We are too.
Please keep praying harder for Brian needs to get his blood test again tomorrow (11/4) morning.
The liver enzyme ALT was going down but not low enough.
It was from 282 (last Wednesday) to 241(last Friday) to 219( this Tuesday).
Pray for it is lower to a good range to get ready for next step--- BMT.
It is very important to have good function of liver to tolerate the beginning of BMT.
The procedure of BMT is first 6 days of chemo drug ( very strong), then rest 1 day.--- In this period, the immune system will be totally wiped out.
Then the Harvest day is on 8th day ( they call day 0), it is the bone marrow transplant date. It is the day Vivian donates her Bone marrow to Brian. Please pray for Vivian to stay the best heath condition before the procedure and even after. Because we all need to stay healthy to take care or even visit Brian.
For Vivain's part, it takes few hours only. She will recover overnight.
For Brian, they said it normally takes 2 to 4 weeks for the receiver to grow his own new bone marrow. The medical team will watch him very carefully for a long time. Please pray the best for Brian to go through all of this smoothly and successfully.
The BMT room is an isolation room to protect the patient. No visitors allow except those 6 Brian chooses in advance.
We need to wear mask all the time in that room. Only patient can eat and use the bathroom.
Good thing is one parent can stay overnight in the room ( this is changed after they moved to the new building on July.)
Please also pray for Mark and I will have good arrangement in between our 2 kids' daily life. They both are our presious babies and we love them the same. We used to left out our daughter for a long time while Brian was in a very critical time and unpredicted situation last year ( Thanks Maria & Jonathan, Sabrina, JuJu & Joe, Helen & Ching took good care of Vivian to share our load. Also Paul & Ruth and many of you in VOH and everywhere pray and help us).
Please pray for God's mercy and grace to let 4 of us can walk together to go through this whole process and be more than conquerors again.
Let the family unity and bounding love support each other and glorify God's name.
We are strong and courageous. We have strong faith in the Lord, it never changes.
Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible with God.
In Jesus' Holy name, we pray. Amen!
God bless us all,
Mark, Anita, Brian & Vivian
