Busy in ShenZhen!

My parents' first few days in ShenZhen have been busy! My dad's been getting all sorts of basic tests done, to get a baseline picture of his health. His first gene therapy treatment will be on June 11th, and it takes less than one hour - my dad will be awake the whole time. Most of his lab results are coming out as expected, except one - neutrophile. When it is under 1.0, he gets booster shots at SCCA. He is pretty far under right now, at 0.4, which can be dangerous so he'll be getting 3 booster shots the next 3 days.

They've had brothers and sisters from the area visit them at the hospital, and Silas and Sophie (used to attend SCA) also visited them. My parents had a desire before they left to start an English Bible Study at the hospital (targeting the nurses and doctors there), so they spoke to their doctor about it. Apparently the doctor has already sent a hospital-wide email announcement about this, so please keep them in your prayers as they try to reach out to the folks there through this Bible study.
