Cinco de Mayo

Buenos Dias Amigos, Feliz Cinco De Mayo! O.K. I'm out of spanish. Erin says I was out a long time ago. Sorry. We just got back from the lab. Her while count is 0.5, Platelets 29 and Hemoglobin 29 also. So she didn't need any blood products but she is definitely bottomed out on her numbers. Please pray for a big jump before Thurs which is when we get labs next. If her numbers jump dramatically, she can go to Relay. If not, she would have to wear a big mask and she doesn't want to do that. Also, if we jump up quick, we can hopefully stay on schedule for round 4 coming up soon. We really want to stay on schedule so we can all get back to our normal lives. Not that normal is normal anymore but you know what I mean. We praise God for all of you and your continued faith and prayers that have seen us through all of this.

"Make sure to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverence; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter1:5-8

We are blessed by all of you and your kindness and love! They have helped us perservere and grow in the knowledge of our Lord! Congrats to the graduating seniors! You are the best! Love, janet and erin

Definitely praying for a jump in numbers so that Erin can participate in the RFL-- She has such a huge fan base that for her not to be able to attend would just be such a disappointment to us as well as for her -- Prayer Warriors unite and join hands and let us pray so so so so so hard for a jump in numbers so that Lady Erin can come and be a part of the survivor lap at RFL this year!

Holy and Gracious God,
Hear our prayers for Erin and let not her numbers remain stubborn so that she may come and be with her extended church family at Relay for Life.
It is now that we need you to lay your hands upon her and her body so that her blood may respond positively. We pray for continued strength for Erin and her family as they continue to seek your guidance and grace during this healing process. Father, we know that you want the best for Erin and that you will do what is in your power to make for a positive lab visit Thursday and are willing to wait to see but know that it would just be awesome if Erin could come and have be wrapped in her Prayer Warrior's steadfast love as she makes her way around the journey that is deemed the survivor's lap.
Please continue to give this family strength, grace, and faith and know that they are continuously lifted in prayer.
It is in your Son's holy and sweet name that we ask this - Amen

Keeping our fingers crossed and lifting you in prayer -- The Beth Moore Study Group has lifted your name and family into prayer - we love you and are hopeful to see you on Friday at RFL!

Blessings and Grace Always,
The Cotner's

Ole! And, Feliz Cinco de Mayo, to you, too!
Thanks for the daily updates, it keeps everything real for everyone praying for you...though I know the reality is nothing compared to yours. Hang in there...I know you will be strong enough to walk at Relay For Life...with the Lord's footprints right next to yours. And if it's just not possible to walk yourself, He will carry you, so you'll be there no matter what. How cool is that?

Still praying and loving you and your awesome family,

Isn't it humbling to know that THE GOD, creator of the entire universe, knows YOU and is working in so many ways around YOU to bring healing and strength! He is a mighty GOD and He does keep His promises! Get your tee shirt ready for Relay! I also just prayed that we'll see you there! Have a beautiful day! Take time to stop and feel the healing within you!
