Such a brave soul. I shall be praying and hope things improve for John very soon
John and family in thoughts and prayers
Will add John and his family to my daily prayers.
I still cannot bring myself to post a new thread here about my family (parents and my sister who lives at home) without crying. All three have cancer - the hardest was my sister's diagnosis two weeks ago. I can only describe it as a truck that hit us out of nowhere. I am just now trying to separate my everyday life from what we are dealing with or we will fall apart. Will try to post soon.........

Continued prayers for John. I also ended up in intensive care last year post cancer surgery, so I know he is getting the best care. They really keep an eye on you.
Here is the latest update about John:
"It is by the Grace of God and the profound love that John has for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, that John is home and is sleeping in his own bed tonight! He came home at 7:30 pm. Late yesterday afternoon, the doctors felt that John was stable enough to be moved from the Intensive Care Unit to the regular floor. Today, John made remarkable improvement and was discharged home. He is still not 100% lucid. This will take some time, as his brain became injured because of the chemotherapy that he had been receiving. His doctors believe that, in being at home around his familiar surroundings, he will be better able to recover.
John continues to have an arduous journey before him. He will still need to receive treatment to cure his leukemia. This will begin again in about ten days. Right now, though, we are basking in the Light of Jesus, overflowing with love and gratitude for God, Who continues to carry all of us; especially John, in His loving hands.
Please, as you read this, say a small prayer of gratitude to God for carrying John through his trials. Also, please continue to pray for John between 7:00-8:00 pm. I know that God hears all of our petitions. Thank you.
P.S.
Even though John is not yet thinking clearly, he had the presence of mind to make the sign of the cross on his forehead whenever we passed a church on our way home tonight! It is obvious that John loves God with all of his heart!"
What wonderful news about John. I almost cried when I read that he made the cross sign. It reminded me that last year when they just took the ventilator tube out and I couldnt talk our pastor came in and I made my hands fold together like pray and then a thumbs up.
I know God is watching out for John every day. Blessings to him always.
Thank you for the update. It's always good to hear new news about a person we're praying for.
Praise God for all this good news!
Praise God! He Is healing him in his own time. Thanks for the update!
