Stem Cells

Hey Friends,

It’s late Thursday night and Micah Moo (as he is affectionately called by nurse, Bonnie) is fast asleep- tomorrow he is getting his stem cells. Chemo was pushed back so he started his last round Tuesday rather than last Friday which was great for us... We were able to go to my Pap’s 70th B-day party on Sat, church Sunday and pray with our Pastor, Joe Lee and Monday we went out for ice cream at Jimmy Cone! It was a great weekend home!
Micah is doing well, he has mostly cheerful cheeks, he is still eating & drinking and we are all looking forward to chemo being finished and Micah being home once again. The journey is long but we are ever being reminded of His love and faithfulness towards us. His mercies are new each morning and he has provided grace and strength each day; we are ever learning to trust Him more.

Today Micah’s broviac has come partly out so he will have to have that replaced tomorrow (a small surgery) after his stem sells. Please pray for us and little man. Since surgery will be so late in the day he can’t have anything to eat after 8:00am and all you moms with small ones know just how hard that can be when you little one can’t eat for hours!

Thanks for your faithful care for our family. Jerry Bridges, in his book Trusting God, says, “It is often in the midst of our adversities that we experience the most delightful manifestations of His love.” How true this is! We have ever felt Gods love and also delightful love and care from you all as well. What faithful friends you have been! We so appreciate you! Thank you for your prayers and continual encouragement!
Love to All,
The Davis Gang!

“Let us fall into the hands of the Lord for his mercy is great!” Jerry Bridges
Do not be afraid for I myself will help you. Is 41:14

Prayer Requests:
- As Micah’s counts drop that he would have minimal side effects, no infections and his counts would come up quickly
- MRI- scheduled for July 19

Praises:
- Micah has been so joyful and peaceable. Even thought he has a hard time with the procedures he has had calmness to him and Luke & I have ever been growing in our faith and trust in the Lord. God is good and he is faithful!
