ISAIAH'S HEALTH
by Colleen DeLoach
January 9, 2001


It was three weeks ago today that Isaiah went to Little Rock Children's Hospital for his regular check up. We just got the results back today that his HIV level is still UNDETECTABLE! This is just such a great blessing. We thank you all so much for your continued prayers on behalf of Isaiah's health.

When he was checked three weeks ago, his CD4 count had dropped enough that he had to start back on his antibiotic three times a week. Since the CD4 had dropped, there was concern that his HIV level had gone up. So for a long three weeks, we were anxiously awaiting the results of the HIV level. But, as it turned out, when he was checked, he was in the beginning stages of some kind of infection. He began to run fever a couple of days after his check up and had a bad sore throat. So, probably the CD4 count was low because of that infection. But, until he is re-checked, he'll continue on the antibiotic. We are so thankful to have the medications that he needs.

Yesterday, January 8th, Isaiah celebrated his fourth birthday!!!! I have a few pictures here for you to see how his day was! We are at my parent's in Jonesboro, Louisiana, and they were glad to be able to celebrate his birthday with him. You can tell from the pictures that he really enjoyed the firetrucks!!! It was fun!!
Isaiah's birthday cake
Jan. 8, 2001 -- Isaiah's 4th birthday. He had a "dirt cake." Although he doesn't eat many sweets, he enjoyed digging around for the gummy worms!

Jan. 8, 2001 -- Isaiah spent his 4th birthday with Pap & Granny Jordan in Louisiana.
He loves firetrucks, so Granny arranged for him to go visit the firestation in Jonesboro.


We are enjoying Isaiah so much. He is such a joy and blessing. We are so thankful that God chose him for our family.

To God be the glory,
