Hello everybody, Thank you for your prayers! We feel them. Erin is feeling nauseous today and she says everything tastes really weird. I have to force her to eat something so her pills won't hurt her stomach more than it already hurts. I guess it is just par for the course. She is so tired of all this. It is hard to see the end from here. She told the Dr. she wanted to skip the rest of the chemo (thanks Jeff!) and he told her absolutely not. He said the reason they are achieving the success they are is because they follow the protocol to the letter. He said other cancer centers have tried to cut corners because they feel sorry for their patients when the chemo is so rough, but that they don't get the higher cure rates when they do that. It was just what she needed to hear because she was ready to throw in the towel a couple of days ago! I know one more round sounds like it should be encouraging, and it is to you and me, but to Erin it is torture. All our spirits are in need of a lift, so I guess that is our prayer request today. Thank you so much for standing firm on that prayer wall for Erin. We are blessed!
"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 15:5-6
Thanks again for all the love and encouragement! You all are the best! love, janet

To All the Blonshines,
Consider yourself "spirit-lifted" as we will continue to pray for an easy road ahead...emotionally, and physically...for all of you.
I take deep breaths every time I read your posts, so I can't imagine how you all feel (though you do a pretty good job of filling us in!). Thanks for that and for the inspiration you have spread to everyone.
Love and blessings to you all,

Erin - hang in there. You are so brave and so strong. You are definitely in our prayers.
We can only imagine how tough this is to go through, and to know that you have one more to go, but are so thankful that the Drs are looking out for your best interests in the long run rather than your short term comfort. While it is our wish that you would never have one more second of discomfort or pain, BUT what we really want even more is for you to be free from leukemia. We are going to pray you through this Erin.
Hang in there, Erin! It's worth the fight. Praying for you!
In His Love,
Kirsten
Erin!
You are far too close to throw in the towel! Just keep the faith and your trust in the Lord and things will keep improving -- we are here praying for you and praying that you will continue to find the strength to carry on with this journey that began so many months ago and that giving up now would do you no good -- your prayer warriors will NOT that happen but instead we are here praying for strength,continued determination, continued faith and trust in the Lord, and that you will continue to fight the good fight -- We know you can do it Erin! YOU ARE OUR STRONG TOWER! and our source of drive and inspiration, you have shown us that through Him ALL things ARE possible!
We love you! Hang in there Kiddo!
Praying for you! Stay Strong!
In His Love,
The Cotner's
