This is all God's grace

It's been a roller coaster ride for our family and everyone who's been following updates through this blog knows that.

AJ's health is improving although just a few days ago her temps rose again and she developed allergic reactions to the paracetamol that was given her. She is also still getting blood transfusions and will be so until her hemoglobin count normalizes. My mom's been by her side since the first week of April and since then, too, we've seen how special Lola Mommy's touch has always been by looking at how much AJ has recovered from the effects of chemo among other things.

In all of this, we are so thankful that we are not alone. People, some we haven't yet personally met, responded to our call for help and we are just so overwhelmed by such outpouring of love, compassion and kindness. There are days I'd receive calls from people I didn't even know existed, and they would offer their time and resources to help our family, especially AJ.

There are also old friends who immediately stepped in to assist us, sending financial help from across the miles and even keeping AJ in their prayers.

The ordeal becomes more bearable with all the love our family is receiving from different directions and we are so thankful. I can only stand in amazement at how many people God has brought to us these past two months. Truly, His provisions never cease. This is all God's grace.

Again and again, I pray that in all of this, may God's name be glorified above all.
