Knox Update - 8/10

**Monday Update** - Knox is in a room and will likely be here for a few days...there's nothing out of the ordinary for what happens after receiving T-cells...he's still running a fever (again, not really an issue other than the way he feels) and is mostly sleeping (probably hasn't been up 30 min total yet today)...thanks for praying and we look forward to getting through this part of it!!

Knox Update

Knox Update -  First, thank you to everyone showing us your Knox gear.  It’s a joy to see so many people wearing it and we know so many are praying for us and for Knox.  As we have stated, we hope it causes you to pray, causes others to ask about it, and that Christ will be exalted.

The fevers finally subsided and went away completely, allowing us to leave on Tuesday after a 6 night stay. We are thankful for our warm and comfortable townhouse and, while we are very thankful for the care he received, we are glad to be out of the hospital. He has continued to progress back to full strength. To this point, all tests have come back negative for disease. We pray for this continually and thank you all for calling out to the LORD on his behalf. We continue to pray for these Tcells to last for a long time, reaching and destroying every last blast cell that may be left. From here on out, the clinic visits are not as many and often, but he'll still get bloodwork checked once or twice a week. We are schedule to be here until March 16th and he'll have another bone marrow aspiration and lumbar pu...
