Our only request is prayers! Please pray that Brian's fevers will subside. For some reason the past 24 hours have not gone well. It seems he has had fevers more frequently and has not been feeling well with them either. Tonight he started having headaches, body aches, etc. His counts did go up from yesterday which is good but they are still low. Since he is breaking out in more fevers our doctor decided to call in infectious disease to see if we were missing some kind of infection even though Brian has been on anti-biotics. Brian is getting very frustrated with everything so please pray that he can overcome these fevers. His parents will be here tomorrow to spend some time with him. Hopefully, that will help with his anxiousness about being in the hospital. Brian has two weeks left of radiation. He is starting to feel fatigued from the radiation and everything going on too.
We thank you for everything and all your support. Please continue to send Brian cards, comments, etc. to lift his spirits up.
Hi Brian Hang in there, keep standing on the promises of God for healing. I thank God that you and Stacey know that prayer is what you need to focus on. Do not get discouraged in the battle, but stay strong through it. Be encouraged, you have a lot of PRAYER WARRIORS out here. It was so good to see you guys at church.
ReplyDeleteHi Brian and Stacey,
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 40:28-31 brings His word of hope and encouragement! It is probably a familiar passage to you. At verse 29 "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength..." You may be weary and weak now, but HE WILL renew your strength. You have HOPE in His faithfulness! So thankful that we can pray you through this. Have a God day!

Hey Brian. Thought that I would check in to see how you were. I made it to the Iowa/Purdue game last weekend and while it was a blowout is was good to see some of the Hawk Nation there! Keep up the good fight and courage you show that inspires others. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!

Brian and Stacy,
ReplyDeleteI think you should try a chocolate popsickle. When I'm feeling yucky, they make me feel better, but I've never been to a hospital so you'll have to let me know if it makes you feel better.
Your friend, Ryan from Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class
Your parents gave us a plaque that says "Prayer, when life gets to hard to stand, kneel." kneeling here for you everyday.
ReplyDeleteWe love you both.
Just heard the dog & pony story. Too funny.
We can just hear you saying that.
Love,
Aunt Rosie
