Well, we just got back from the clinic and her numbers are not up. I think they are on the way up, they just have a way to go. Her WBCs are 1.0, Plts 219, ANC 30. This is pretty much what we expected, but we were hoping for higher numbers. So, the decision is hard regarding Relay for Life. She would have to wear the big hot uncomfortable blue mask to go and I am not sure she is willing to do that, plus there is a risk of infection. Bottom line is her health of course, so, we will see how she feels tomorrow. Her bone pain is gone which is a HUGE praise. Her itching and stomach ache are pretty constant though.

Scientific Atlanta/Cisco is having a blood drive next wednesday. Thanks to our friend Melissa, they just added a free bone marrow drive also. So those of you that work with Bill can give at work and get tested for the bone marrow registry. Thanks in advance for your faithfulness.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to walk with the survivors this year (CK's chorus solo will be Friday night...and I can't miss it).
We'll be prayin' them around the track.

2 John 1:4 "...great joy to find some children 'walking' in the truth, just as the Father commanded us...love one another...'walk' in obedience to his commands...'walk' in love.
Unfortunately, we won't be at Relay Friday night either. We are taking the church van loaded with supporters for Stan Carpenter and his Collins Hill Soccer team going to the State Finals!!! Yeah, Go Collins Hill! However, I am going to try to go early Sat. a.m. and walk a lap. I will definitely be at the drive on the 18th and be on that Bone Marrow Donor list! Hang in there kiddo! You are amazing!
Lots of love,
Kristie
I am sorry those old numbers didn't cooperate (YET) but am so thankful that you are putting your body's health first. Thanks for taking care of our very special friend! We'll pray for God's guidance in your decision making about tomorrow night.
...LOVE,

Erin, you do what is healthy and best for your future. Don't push yourself to go if you are not feeling up to it, or if it might put you at risk. We know that you want to be there and we love you. Your church family will be well represented at Relay and we will all be praying for you while we are there.
Love,
Sheri
Erin,
Cori will be there walking in honor of you and praying for you. Stay home, rest, and next year - you can run and not grow weary (Isaiah 40:31) OR even dance (Psalm 150:4-6) while you praise HIM for the wonderful healing of precious you!
God Bless! The Bishop Family
Blonshines!
Definitely do what is going to be better suited for Erin's health as her health is the most important thing at this juncture. As Sheri pointed out, a ton of members from the Church Family will be there walking in Erin's honor and we will definitely be there praying for her as well as the rest of the Blonshine family.
Praying for a restful weekend with no pain present in the bones or anywhere else -- praying for the numbers to get stronger by the next scheduled chemo treatment. Praying that your faith will keep you strong and that you guys know just how much your Church Family loves you!
Blessings and Prayers,
The Cotner's
Just know everyone there has more of a reason to walk because you are in their prayers and their hearts.
I won't be there... too many allergies... ah-choo
