Thanks and Praise

Thank you all for your prayers for Will. Dr. Jain said they found no traces of Leukemia in his blood!!! YEA!!!! He does have some protein build up, which the doctor explained is also made in the bone marrow, and he's a little concerned about that, but he basically told Will that he could drastically reduce the infections in his body by losing lots of weight. He has to go back in three months to repeat the blood tests, just to make sure their first assessment was correct, but otherwise, everything looks good. He did discover that Will had fractured a rib as some point in time, and the only thing we can think is when he ran off the road in his truck about three years ago on a very icy day coming home from work??? We don't really know.
We are just praising God for the good outcome, and going to try to eat better and get more exercise. The doctor said if Will can't do it, they will provide a nutritionist.
We already got a good start. The evening after the appointment, we both came down with the stomach virus. Not a pretty picture, I will spare you all with the details.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks again.

It was sooooo nice seeing you and talking (and joking) at the the spaghetti dinner!!! I had a real good time!!!! :) It was fun!!!

I am also happy to hear about Will's results. That is good news!!! I am also trying to lose weight myself, so we will try and do it together!
That rib fracture sounds painful, tho, does Will ever feel it??!!
