Today I went for my second blood test at the Jewish Hospital. I did not go as early as I had planned, but I got there around seven thirty and got out around ten. I have been selected to take part in a medical study. I don't have to take any drugs and I don't get paid but I do get to talk to a nurse when I come in for my blood test. Its a study to see what they should study. They want to look into what are the causes of my blood clot to see what they can learn about blood clots in major organs, like the brain. I knew before I had all the information I would do it. Not only will I have an in with a clinic that specializes in blood clots, but I also might be able to help other people (like my Dad) who have also suffered, or will suffer from blood clots.
While the other does give my mother peace of mind and that is very valuable, I want to help other people.
On the other front, I am making progress with my DTS internship. I am currently waiting to hear back from people about a mentor of which to help me pursue my writing career.
We had a prayer meeting today that was quite interesting. We read recent stories about the persecuted church and prayed for the people. I greatly enjoyed the experience.
Tonight we have community meals at the boy's apartment. Should be a good time.
I hope to make more updates inthe future (with pictures). We are getting internet at the apartment on Saturday. For now, here is a picture of my school to tide you over until next time.
