Rejoice!

I know I have not been writing for many days and I am excited to share the good news the Lord has done for my family. Rejoice I say to His almighty name, for the Lord is good!

Two nights ago, I was at the hospital as usual to bring him dinner from home. When I was there, the nurse informed us that she would have two nurses from the haemotology ward to move Aaron to the normal ward. At first, I thought if his move would impede his recovery. Now , it has been over two days he is in the normal and I praise the Lord that he is recovering well. It's a joy to see him sitting up on the bed with folded legs and now breathing without the aid of oxygen supply, I rejoice to see his cheerfulness, voracious appetite and elevated talk that fills in the ward: this is small moments just show that he is back in action!

Doctor said that he can return home after a week or two since he is recovering in a fast speed. I was so happy upon hearing this. It is good to have him back home. However, he still needs to be treated with chemo after his immune systems strengthens. The treatment is to make sure that all the bad cells ( aka leukemia) dies before supplemented with stem cells from bone marrow donor. I pray that my coming blood test tomorrow will find a stem match for him. The stem cells comes from the peripheral blood cells and said to be safer than the conventional bone marrow transplant.

Dad is getting doctor to refer Aaron to a hospital in KL. The doctor suggested transferring him to Hospital Ampang (do you know if the treatment and service is good over there?I need feedbacks.) for the rest of his chemo treatment. The hospital is the National Haemotology of Malaysia , however, I would like to look into other hospitals like university hospital. I will not know when is the exact date that my brother will head to KL and there are many things to consider.Once he is on chemo and becoming weak again, he needs intensive care and I hope I am able to provide the care that he needs despite of my working schedule (if I am to start working). Mom and dad will come over to KL to take care of him too. Since they are new in KL, I will have to assist them and guide them around KL.

Thank you for those who have been praying for my brother. I really appreciate it. :D God bless you!
