Surprise Immunity

Hey everyone!  We got the great and totally unexpected news (last week, sorry for the delay) that Andrew has residual yellow fever immunity, which the experts at Hopkins had indicated was highly unlikely to be the case post bone marrow transplant.  You may recall that one-year post transplant Andrew has been getting a wide range of shots to protect him against various illnesses, but the docs refused to give him the yellow fever vaccine since it is live, advising that we would have to wait another year before getting vaccinated.  Andrew's work is mainly in Africa in countries where a yellow fever vaccine is necessary.  We thought Andrew wouldn't be able to travel for ages.  But now, just after a group of men prayed about this for him, a simple voicemail showed up on his phone announcing the residual immunity and the all-clear to travel to yellow fever infested countries.  Woo-hoo!  This is an answer to a prayer and a reminder to keep faith that the unexpected can and does happen against all odds.
