Mon round 5

Dear Prayer Warriors, Round five is finally going to get started. They called us this morning to come in for a CT for the rib pain she has had all weekend. Then they called 15 minutes later and said they had a room for us also. Erin had her CT and now we are in room 601 and are all settled in and waiting for the chemo. She is also going to need blood because her H&H dropped since Fri. Please pray for decreased nausea and protection for her organs. Erin is feeling o.k. but scared as usual for the chemo. This round is 2 days now and 2 days next week and then we are done and can concentrate on recovery and regaining strength for the fall semester to start. Thank you all for your support and prayers. We depend on you all so much and are grateful for a loving God who surrounds us with friends like you. Blessings, janet

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23

Thanks for helping us hold on!

Erin,
You're still in my daily prayers. You can beat this - you've already done it 4 times & won each & every time!!! Stay strong these next 2 weeks & then gets lots of rest & recovery time - you've got a wild bunch starting 9th Grade this year (I know - I'm sending one of them!!).
Love,
Lori Jacobi

Praise God for He IS Great! We are so glad to hear that not only has Erin been able to start her chemo but also has a place to lay her head as she gets through this last part of the chemo journey!

We are joyous that things are chumming right alon on schedule and that there is hope that Erin will be at campmeeting but more importantly she will be on schedule to walk among her peers and students when the school year begins! What a praise!

We are praying for the rib pain to be rectified and are also prayerful that there will be minimal pain and nausea this round. Keep the faith!

Blessings,
The Cotner's

May God give you the peace and comfort you need Erin to handle these last days of chemo. This has been a marathon, and I am sure that marathoners find the last leg the very hardest until they see that finish line. One foot in front of the other til you are there.........we are on the sidelines cheering you on!!! I can even get David to dump some Gatorade on Bill if it will help!!!

Praying HARD!!! for YOU!!!
