Recovering

Since the end of treatment time, Reg has been recovering well. He still gets tired easily, but has been out and about. He has even gone out for Yum Cha and went out for dinner with Anita's family. It has been a bit strange for Reg hasn't been eating food outside for a long time. Indeed, he was surprised by how salty the food has been.

REg celebrated his birthday on Monday. It was very special because the family knew God has indeed sustained him to see this very day. The joy of celebrating "life" is one very real one. The family decided to take him to Leichhardt for some Italian food, for they have a greater choice for both REg and Jed. Unfortunately, all pastas were egg pastas and nuggets batter was also coated with eggs. Thankfully two choices left on the entire menu: plain bread and lamb skewer were just perfect for Jed. Reg requested a homemade Tiramisu cake. Anita reduced the sugar by half and used low fat cream to ensure it was alright for Reg. While the cake was a success, Jed could not handle not able to taste the cake at all, he hid in his own room crying. Anita felt awlful becuase the only time Jed can ever eat a cake is when mummy makes it and this time, he could not eat it. Jed even requested mummy to pray to Jesus for healing! So they prayed.

The family has decided to take faith and join the church camp this long weekend. Reg is still apprehensive about his energy level, but Anita encouraged him to take it easy and join in whenever he can. The family prays for protection especially on health and Reg adaptation with crowds.

The final scan for result is still pending, as the family awaits for Reg's haemotologist return. Tentatively it may be mid July. The family continues to ask God for His mercy and total healing.
