We've had a great evening visiting with Aunt Tif
and Aunt Gayle. I took them on a tour of the hospital and the way back to
Spencer's room we stopped and picked up the mail. Finally the packages from
Grandpa Larry arrived along with several cards and even a few care packages
from friends from school. Spencer was thrilled! After a dinner of soft shell
chicken tacos we went for a walk around the halls and then settled him in
the chair to watch TV. We also talked to Rod tonight and he and Chayse are
doing very well. Rod went to Bearcat football practice and was overwhelmed
by the kindness shown to him by the coaches and players. Many even asked to
pray with him for Spencer! It's no wonder we have such an awesome football
team! We pray God's grace and protection over every one of them. May God
continue to bless each and every one of you as well as our beloved Bearcats!
Good night and God bless!

Dr. Razzouk was just in and said it would be
best for us to wait until tomorrow to be discharged to outpatient status.
Spencer is receiving platelets now and enjoying visiting with Aunt Tif and
Aunt Gayle. Dr Razzouk has also decided to do a bone marrow on Thursday when
they are doing the IT therapy since he will be asleep anyway. By doing so,
it will enable the doctors to see if there is leukemia cells still in the
bone marrow. We continue to pray and believe for a quick healing that would
even astound the doctors!

Dr. Rachael was just in and said Spencer's
platelets are at 19. Dr. Razzouk likes to transfuse at 20, so Spencer will
receive platelets this afternoon. By then the results from the stool culture
should be ready and we'll know for sure what's causing the diarrhea
Like I said earlier, Dr. Razzouk thinks it's a reaction to an antibiotic,
but wants to make sure. With all that said, there is a possibility we may
not get discharged today after all. If not today then soon. We are at
peace knowing God is STILL in control! I'll let you know when I find out!

Well, good news! Dr. Rachael was just in and
asked if we were ready fly this coop! Of course we are, but are not going to
leave until later, as Spencer is still very tired. Besides, we think we can
use the help of Aunt Tif and Aunt Gayle when they get here! Isn't God so
good? He knew we would need help and waited until today for that help to
arrive. Dr. Razzouk stopped by earlier and wants to do a culture on his
"output" just to make sure it's not a reaction to one of the antibiotics or
a possible infection. We are so thankful for the doctors who cover all the
bases. So, prayer warriors, that means we really need to pray for no
infections and that we get to stay outpatient for longer than 4 hours! It
would be wonderful to be outpatient from here on out. God is able to do
exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think! Praise
His Name Forevermore!

Spencer is finally getting some well deserved
sleep! The doctors, nurses, and techs have all made their rounds and have
stopped poking and prodding him for awhile. I hope he is well rested and
ready when Aunt Tif and Aunt Gayle arrive. I need to get cleaned up and make
sure I'm at the mail desk to pick up the mail when it opens at 10:30am!
Spencer is really looking forward to receiving Grandpa Larry's packages, as
well as all the cards from our many well wishers.
March 27 - 5:45 am
It's been a long night with little sleep as
Spencer continues battling with the after effects of the laxative. The nurse
is giving him Benedryl and we're praying it takes away the itching and helps
him sleep. He's already had a bath, cleaned his ears, clipped his toe nails,
and done his mouth treatment, so we're set to get some much needed sleep
this morning. We hope to be rested before Aunt Tif and Aunt Gayle get here
this afternoon. We are both really looking forward them coming! We continue
to praise Jesus for Spencer's healing and His unending grace!
