Infection Gone, Please Pray for Bilirubin Level!

Dear Friends,

Last night's bacteria culture is negative and Charley's fever has been gone since this morning. Thanks for the joint prayer at 10 PM last night! We still need to keep the infection away so that Charley can start his new protocol early next week.

This morning, Charley had an episode of nose bleeding. It was more blood than usual.

Today's bilirubin is somewhat elevated. Please pray that Charley's bilirubin can drop back to normal so he can be eligible for a clinical trial.

Last Thursday, the Chinese Association of Healing Rooms (Rhode Island-based and serving NYC and Boston areas) had a healing service in Waltham. Pastor Huang from California prayed for Charley. A group of coworkers came to Charley's room prayed for Deborah, grandma and
Charley. The other coworker visited Charley on Monday to help Charley's parents. On Thursday, they even brought foods for them and stayed whole day at Charley's bedside. This gave Deborah and Nehemiah a lot of comfort. This evening, a coworker and spouse stayed with us to play with Charley and to strengthen the parents both spiritually and physically
(delicious food!).

Overall, Charley has been active today. He has enjoyed drawing, shopping and watching his
favorite children programs. Praise the Lord!

Prayer Requests:
* Charley's body can keep the infection away.
* Charley's bilirubin levels can return to a normal range so that he can be eligible for a clinical trial.
* Charley's nosebleeds will be less severe, or even stop.
* Charley and his family will continue to be blessed by dedicated friends who bring them an abundance of strength, love, and support.
