We got sent home today. K8N is running out of beds and they are sending Adrian home for the moment. Baby had good appetite in the morning but very poor towards the end of the day. I think the chemo effects have started to kick in... Blood result shows that his haemoglobin is only at 8.8 and neutrophils dropped significantly to 0.96. Dr. Ho said blood infusion is needed when haemoglobin is below 8. So I believe Adrian may need one when he goes back to K8S on Monday for blood count and check up.

I am so touched with Adrian's situation, and checked your blog daily for his update. I learned about Adrian's condition from Amanda's mommy, and I was also in Lydia Ling's class (but earlier, MS0407). I just want to know that he will be in my prayers. Also, if you haven't been doing so already, may I suggest saying "Seven Hail Mary" every night. I got the pamphlet from our church, and it reads: "The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honour her daily by saying seven Hail Mary's and meditating on her tears and sorrows." If you would like a copy of the scanned pamphlet, please feel free to contact me at: idekaoru2004@yahoo.com

I'm just going to give you the excerpt here:
Meditate on these 7 sorrows when you say the 7 Hail Mary:
1. The prophecy of Simeon
2. The flight into Egypt
3. The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple
4. The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross.
5. Mary witnessed the crucifixion of her Son
6. Jesus was taken down from the Cross and laid in Mary's arms
7. The burial of Jesus

And here are the 7 Graces that the Blessed Virgin Mary grants us...
1. I will grant peace to their families
2. They will be enlightened about the divine Mysteries
3. I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work
4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls
5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother
7. I have obtained (This Grace) from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
* Our family is Roman Catholic, in case you want to know where we got the pamphlet from.
