Fri 5/30

Hello everyone, Can you believe May is practically over? We are glad to see it go because we are really looking forward to July and this gets us one month closer! Is that bad? Anyway, bring on June! Erin is feeling SO TIRED today. Just laying around is wearing her out. I figure her numbers must be low. I think there is a fatigue that goes with chemo that other people just can't imagine. Just moving from the couch to the kitchen table is a chore. Her stomach has moved into second place behind the fatigue, so I think that is good. Maybe they will give her blood products on Monday. That should help. Thank you all for caring so much about the details of Erin's ordeal. I know I must bore you to pieces some days but I am just trying to keep you in the loop. We are so thankful for all your prayers, cards, and gifts. The timing is always perfect to keep her spirits up. We are blessed to have you all loving on her. Thank you so much!

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:28-31

Blessings on you! janet

That is one of my favorite verses when I feel 'weary'....the images never cease to inspire me and fill me up. My prayer is that Erin may be filled up and soar on eagles wings, with all the fatigue fading away.

Love always.........

The details is why we check in every day. :) Thanks for keeping us posted and letting us know what to pray for.
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. " Galatians 6:9-10
Love ya bunches! Aunt Debbie
