An update on how my brother is doing:
He is still at the flat with my mom. He went in for blood tests on Monday and his WBC was still 1.3, as it was last Thursday. Hwever, his platelet count was high wich is great. Unfortunately the WBC wasn't high enough to start the next round of chemo. So he is just waiting at the flat for his WBC to increase. He is going in for tests again on Monday, so I hope that his counts will be high enough to start the next chemo then. Of course, chemo isn't something to look forward too, but the faster hings move the faster John comes home, and that is something to look forward too! People generally have between 4 and 9 rounds of chemo, with recovery period between. May it not be so long for John!
The (wonderful) comp sci department gave John some sort of 3G modem. !!! Very generous - thanks to Prof Wells and the department. So John has been trying to set that up. Its been a bit impossible though, because I have Fedora on my laptop and there are no drivers for the 3G card. (I am not a CS fundi, so I may b missing something here. Nonetheless, you get the point.) So Chris is going to download the Linux drivers which seem to be available on the Nokia website, hoorah. So that should be great for John when it gets down to him on Friday.
Generally, John is feeling rather good at the moment. Going for short walks, reading, eating my mom's cooking. Just chillin'

Just to let you know that even if people don't post comments so often...it doesn't mean we don't read this. Or that we are not praying for John. Or for you and your family.
Stay strong. You know God comes through for those with the courage to ask for His help.
