Thursday 2/28/08 LATE UPDATE

DING.....DING.....DING.....DING.....LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PRAYER WARRIORS EVERYWHERE......LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLE!!! ROUND 2 STARTS TONIGHT!

We moved Erin into room E615 late this afternoon. That room is just 3 doors down from her previous room and shares virtually the same view of the Candler campus and the Atlanta skyline. God paints some pretty magnificent sunsets that are visible from there so that's a definite praise! While we know that God is in control and His timing is perfect it is with mixed emotions that we enter this new phase. We feel blessed for the time we have had at home with Erin but it sort of felt like we weren't actively fighting the disease. So we are at once thankful to get on with it so we feel like we are back in the fight but we are a little apprehensive about how hard this round will be on Erin. We have been encouraged by others that have been through this who have told us that subsequent rounds tend to be easier with less side affects. So our prayer is that in addition to complete healing and total remission that this will be an easier round for Erin without major side affects.

The plan for this round is 8 days of chemo followed by 3 weeks of recovery! We can't say it enough....we feel so blessed to have you with us on this journey and thank you for your continued support and prayers!!
- Bill

Just think, every time you see that sun set... God is saying that He is madly in love with you.

I am so glad that you have a good room where you get to see His sun shinning face smiling at you and telling you how amazing and beautiful you are. You are going to OWN this round of chemo, Erin. I am always praying for you.

Love,
Kristen MacDonald
