Prayers answered, but not yet time for the happy dance

Today is the day the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Well, far too early to be excited or celebrate or know that it will continue, but today for the first time in over two weeks, Trish's liver function shows signs of going down. Dr. Meade is happy. I am happy. Trish is happy. But it is way too early to be excited or to stop praying for a liver enzyme miracle.

Trish's immune system is just a few days shy of being at its nadir (lowest point). Remember that the real test will be what happens when her counts return and how her new immune system treats her skin and liver when it returns. So we still need the IPU (Intensive Prayer Unit) at full force.

In other news, completely unsolicited from me and really out of no where. Dr. Meade brought up the subject of cats. He said hat Trish shouldnt be around any cats when she is home and still on Imunno suppressants. He said some doctors would say just no litter, he says NO WAY! Now what's funny about this is my Mom met our neighbor in the store yesterday and he asked what we were planning on doing with the cat when Trish made it home.....Wow, almost seems like I paid Dr. Meade to bring this up, but I did not and he confirmed that for Trish. Looks like Minnie will be finding a new home at Grandma's (Trish's Mom) a few weeks before we head home.

Stay tuned....and keep up the IPU efforts and the good cheer efforts. A descending liver count was the best birthday news Trish could get, now it just has to finish going down and stay down.
