Thursday morning around 4:00 A.M. Nicholas caught a fever that landed him back in the hospital. His blood count/good cells had deteriorated from his first round of chemotherapy. I was at work all day wondering what was going to happen to him. Shortly after I entered the hospital after work, I was told by his mother that he would be there until Monday. I was completely shocked with the news that he'd be there so long and at the same time I found out they wanted to do a blood transfusion to bring his cell count back up to nearly 200 hundred before he could go home. Trapped in my own state of fear I broke down and cried and begged God to make him well. I felt so hopeless and sad for him as he slept in a pool of sweat with a fever of 101 degrees. I went home that night as Candice decided she wanted to stay with him for the night. Friday morning I headed off to work with only one thing on my mind...Nick's health and scheduled blood transfusion. Noon time came quickly as I received a text message from Candice stating that Nick's blood count had skyrocketed to 600 in a little over 24 hours without the transfusion. I believe in miracles and I am sure that we just witnessed one recently in our lives. Thank God for everyone praying, pushing and pulling for a fast recovery so far everything is going as planned.
