Mon 6/16

Hello all, we just got back from the clinic. Erin's numbers weren't great but she didn't need any blood products. Her ANC was only 713 when we expected it to be 1200+. It is supposed to be above 1000 for her to go out in public. Oops, went to church yesterday and out to eat. It's so hard to stay home! I hope this slow rise in her numbers doesn't keep us from being able to start round 5. The timing is important but of course we want the best for Erin. Thanks for the prayers. Every step we take is in God's hands, so we know we are safe and secure. Thanks for walking this rocky road with us. We'll keep you posted. love, janet

Continue to put your hope in Him and he will not allow you to stumble. I am praying for Erin's numbers to go up and for her to be ready to embark on round 5 when the time comes. It was such a blessing to see you all yesterday and we love you so much. I will pass the prayer request along to the prayer ministry and the prayer chain.
Love,
Sheri

Ecclesiates 7:8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience is better than pride.


Wow, isn't it true about the end being better than the beginning of all of this? The patience the Blonshine family has shown throughout and continuing now is inspirational and a lesson to us all. That being said :Hey ANC numbers, get a move on up RIGHT NOW!!!!

Praying for high numbers and getting started on round FIVE. I'm so glad you were able to get out and receive and give lots of hugs. You are in God's hands, and your faith is a blessing.

Btw, if your big party takes place when I'm home in August...I am so there!

Please receive a virtual hug from me right now:)

Love, Brittany

Praying that the numbers will increase as they should and that Erin will be able to be on target this week for chemo treatment. We are also praying that the Blonshines will continue to keep the faith and know that their Father will continie giving them the strength to get through this last segment of the journey and will be working hard to continue to heal Erin as the new school year approaches.

The Blonshines are constant in our thoughts and prayers and Erin remains an inspiration to me as I go through my own medical issues at this point in my life -- surgery is to occur sometime in July. She is my strong tower!

Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
