Holding God's hand
"For I, the Lord thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not: I will help thee." Isaiah 41:13
We found great comfort in this verse tonight as I was reading to Malcom. When he is in pain or perhaps just feeling the need for reassurance, I have discovered that words aren't always needed. Just to reach out and take his hand in mine says, "I'm here, I love you." So too, God is there doing the same thing and His hand is so much stronger!
There hasn't been much change in Malcom's condition today. He is still running a fever, still high white blood count (indicating infection), and the doctor has added another antibiotic. Keep praying!

Carol and Malcom,
Just checking in to see if there has been any changes today. Will do the same tomorrow. Hopefully you will be able to get the scan soon. I am praying for wisdom for the doctors to know just how to proceed. Tell them aggressive is good. :-)

I checked to see if there were a new update - glad to see it. But I was hoping his fever would be down and white cells more normal. I am praying for you both.
I posted twice - but through the hinet .....now I will see if this is working. Love you both.....Mary
Just checking in to see if there is any news. We are much in prayer.
Love,
Fred and Joyce
We continue to pray for you. We checked to see about the tests and saw they were postponed. We know the waiting is hard. Rest in Him...while you wait. Since we are awake during Malcolm's evening...we will be praying for him then.
Love you, Caroline and Mike
