Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

Today is the eighth week of the “Delayed Intensification Phase”.

The two 250 ml units of red blood cells and one 200 ml unit of platelets

Ella received last Monday appear to have worked well.

Ella’s color is much more rosey than it was last week.

Nurse Donna says she thinks Ella received “Bossy Blood”.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

Delayed Intensification Phase – Week 7 of 8

Monday, 06 Oct 2014

(270 = ANC @ 08:29 on 06 Oct)

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever; my cup runneth over.

Today is the seventh week of the “Delayed Intensification” phase.

Ella has been in fine spirts and doing well over the past seven days.

The same can not be said for Ella’s blood numbers – all 3 counts are WAY down.

Her very low Hemoglobin count, 4.3, was the greatest concern today.

Her very low Platelet count, 10K, was the next greatest.

She received two 250 ml units of red blood cells today and

one 200 ml unit of platelets.

We promise to record the story of this amazing “God Moment” here soon.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

Unexpected Return to Hospital…a bit SCARY

Wednesday, 14 May 2014

Ella was readmitted to Kapiolani Medical Center late Tuesday afternoon. Earlier in the day, Mum detected a combination of subtle signs that pointed to probable instability. After an hour of close monitoring, the doctors agreed Ella should spend the night in hospital. Blood tests later revealed Ella’s hemoglobin count dipped a bit too low. Ella really perked up after receiving a blood transfusion on Wednesday afternoon.

We are so grateful to the donors who give to the Blood Bank of Hawaii – Mahalo Nui Loa! We urge friends of Ella to Donate Blood Today.

We thank God for the gift of another day and invite him to send the Holy Spirit into our lives; We pray for blood donors who support children like Ella.

We pray for all the people who are praying for Ella.

Thank you for your prayers.
