Praise God! Daniel is healed!

Hi All,

Thank you God for healing Daniel. Thank you to all who begged God to heal our little boy.
Once at CHEO this morning, they checked Daniel's vital and then he got to play in the awesome playroom. Daniel then had an IV put in. The IV was to give him fluids and later medication to sedate him for the surgical procedure to biopsy bone marrow. We then saw the doctors. Dr. Johnston, Daniel's hematologist, was very nice. She took the time to go over Jacob's and Esther's blood work. Both of them are fine according to her. Our family doctor wants Jacob's blood sugar tested in a little while just to make sure everything is ok as his HbA1 was slightly low. Dr. Johnston said it would be a good idea to have Esther's blood work done in a few weeks gust to make sure her hemoglobins are climbing and are at good levels, but she is not worried.
Since, Daniel had fallen asleep we were brought to a "quiet" room to wait until they were ready to bring him to the operation room. After a short while in the room, Dr. Johnston came back in the room. She told us that they had jsut received Daniel's blood work from today. We were a little nervous... She told us that his hemoglobin were up to 101... praise God. They had increase from 90 to 101 in 4 days!!!!!! The ricket number (the number of new cells) were at the appropriate levels. She told us they were cancelling the biopsy as his bone marrow had started to produce hemoglobin again.... I started to cry tears of joy. I asked her "This means he is healed?" ... she said "yes!".... He will go back on May 1st, 2009 for a check up with blood work to confirm everyhting is still were we want it to be. She also recommended that we still wait a few months before he receives any vaccinations... but otherwise he is a healthy little boy.... Hurray... Thank you so much for all the prayers/ petition you have sent up to our Lord and King. God has touched me in many ways during this ordeal and your support in physical, emotional, and spirital ways hav ehelp in more ways that I can begins to explain at this time. Now, my children can play with a mommy who is not worried about their health. And I have an house to try to get back into shape.
We are looking to hire someone to come by from 9am to 1:30 am (maybe 2pm) either on Wed. or Friday (would perfer Fridays) to help me get the kids outside to play.... maybe do a little house work... or watch the some kids while I play with the other ones.... if you know anyone interested please let me know.
Daniel will still be on anti-seizure medication for one year due to the amount of seizure he has had... but the keppra (anti-seizure medication) is working well. He is also being followed by "first-words" a speechpatholgy program here in Ottawa due to a large tongue causing difficulties in saying the "e" sound and the long "a" sound.
God bless,
Roxanne
