Good morning! Wish I could say all is well, but frankly, Erin had a hard night. She broke out in hives last night from who knows what. So add itching to the nausea to the overall not so good feeling. Yikes. So they gave her Benadryl and that helped the itching, then they gave her ativan to help the overall yucky feeling, so she did sleep a little between interuptions. One more night and then we can go home. Please pray for the hives to go away, the nausea to go away and the overall terrible feeling to go away. Also please pray that she can eat today. Yesterday she only ate a little cup of peaches. She slept so much she only walked 4 laps and that was by force. She is so over all this and I don't blame her. On the bright side, because you know God always provides a bright side, we only have 3 more chemo doses to go this round and then we go home. Come quickly summer, we want to be done. Thanks for all the prayers, we depend on them.
"Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up." James 5:13-15
We are thankful for a God of miracles! And we can testify to the many He has already provided. We know His plans for Erin are mighty and we trust that someday this will all be a distant memory that fuels her testimony. Love, janet

You can do it Erin! You are getting so close. My family and I will be praying for your side effects to subside and for your appetite to come back. I hope you have a better night tonight!
Love,

“You will fight for me; I need only to be still” (Exodus 14:13).
You are my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
You will lead me when I am blind by ways I have not known, along unfamiliar paths You will guide me; You will turn the darkness into light before me and make the rough places smooth. These are the things You will do; You will not forsake me (Isaiah 42:16).
"You hem me in-behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge if too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain."
-Psalm 139:5-6
God is in control and that is such a wonderful comfort!
Love you!

Hello Miss Erin:
We assume you have your personal drug store to dispense M&M's with you. If not, that could be part of the problem with your not feeling well. Or maybe you're taking them out of the color sequence we recommended. Either way, we'll be working on a revised dosage for you.
And thanks to you and the general success we claim with your M&M therapy, business is picking up. Just be assured that you will remain our priority patient. No waiting in a lobby for you. VIP care always! And I just heard that Meredith Bennett doesn't like doctors. Dr. Butz, PA Blessing and I will have her opinion changed soon. And we're also seeing an increase in "patients" wanting our famous Tick Exam. M&M therapy is one thing, but we are pretty selective in adding patients for tick exams. People like Andrew Erwin and Marty Hollis are probably going to need to find another Medical Group for their exams. We do have our standards...!?
All Our Love and Prayers,
Dr. Ken and the
Blessing-Moore-Butz Team.
Sweet Sweet SIster Erin...Keep your chin up precious...You're almost there....there are so few days left to conquor that you could do them holding your breath....not much longer now sweetie...not much longer at all......Father, continue to surround our sister and her loving family....Father, ease her symptoms from this round of treatment, and rest her heart...as she is on the tail end of this traveling time....and it's almost time to let it go....Father, ease her burdens today....and let her mind relax and heart rejoice in knowing.....it's almost done.......Father, bless this family, as they complete this cycle.........IN JESUS' HOLY NAME.....AMEN............
I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. You continue to be in our prayers. Aaron keeps praying for "Erin's wisdom to come back". He's still a bit confused about the whole concept of wisdom...but then again, remember who his daddy is...Ha! At any rate, I have NO DOUBT at all, that when a little 4 year old says your name each night, GOD hears him and knows EXACTLY what you need! God, give us the Faith of a little child! Take care...Lots of love,
Kristie
Hey Sweet Girl,
YEA! Another "yuck" day marked off the calendar. That means you are that much closer to some good days again. We love you and are praying for no more hives or nausea. Give your mom a smile and let her know you're okay. Looking forward to better times!

Praying for those hives to go away and for you to feel better Erin. God's hanging on to you tight.
Much love,
the stills
Praying for a better night's sleep and for those annoying side effects to be gone! Sorry to hear about the hive breakout - praying for those to vanish as well. Just think.....tonight you will be in your own bed and will be able to rest with no interruption! Praise!
You remain constant on Jim Vanhooser's Disciple 1 prayer chain as well as the Oasis Prayer Chain. We are praying for rest, a postive round 3, and for peace and joy for the Blonshine Family and of course healing.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Relay for Life - If of course the doctors give the okay for you to be there --- it would be great to see you walking the survivor lap! What a blessing and praise that would be to see!
Psalm 27:14 (English Standard Version):
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!
Romans 5:1-5 (English Standard Version):
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Blessings and Grace Always,
The Cotner's
