LD levels are high - from Chris (Monday afternoon)

Ben is progressing well according to the Intensive Care doctors. This
means his breathing is improving and he should be able to be weened
from the breathing tube tomorrow or Wednesday. He has semi-conscious
moments when he can obey simple commands, but mostly he is fast
asleep.

Unfortunately he has a temperature returning and his LD (Lactose
Dehydrogenase) levels are rising. This is not good news as it may well
indicate the cancer is at work. If it is, it means the chemotherapy
has not done the job. If this is the case then the outlook is very
grim as there are few medical options left.

Praying praying praying and God's in control. Also trusting Romans 8 that there's not anything at all that can separate us from the love of God in Jesus. C'mon indeed.

I lift up my eyes to the hills; from whence comes my help? My help is in the Lord who made heaven and earth....

Praying for you all fervently and committing your situation to fasting.
