Dear Prayer Warriors, An early post for early concerns. Erin's central line is looped inside. They said they don't know how these things happen, but they need to fix it. So she will be going to radiology soon to get it adjusted. We don't know if they will have to sedate her to fix it. We have been so thankful not to have any "issues" with her line so far. The PA told us most people have multiple lines over the course of their treatment due to infection or other issues. Please pray this will be an easy fix. Hopefully they can run a wire into it to redirect it without anesthesia. Also, we got further word on the CT of her lung. The Dr said there is a little infection in the lower left lobe, so small they could barely see it. So another round of 2 antibiotics should take care of it. They actually weren't sure that it was related to her pain. They finally got her chemo running at 11 p.m. last night. She gets 4 doses of this drug and then the shot(s) of the new drug on Wed afternoon. We are still hoping she can go home Wed after the shot. But since they got started so late, it may mean another night in the hospital. Then we will do this all over again next Mon-Wed and we will be done. Erin is battling nausea as usual but otherwise seems to be doing fine. She walked her mile yesterday after the Dr told her that it would help the pneumonia. At this point I think she would do anything to be better and out of here! Thanks for the love and prayers. Please see us through to the finish line. And Vicki, I thnk Gatorade sounds like a splendid idea - on Bill of course! hugs, janet

Good morning Erin and family,
You are getting so close! Try not to be discouraged by these setbacks, I know God has great things planned for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you today as always. Stay strong, the end is near!
Love you,
Meghan Wright
Give them strength for the remainder of this journey, Lord.
Lots of love!
Hang in there kiddo! You are almost done and these setbacks are only temporary! Before you know it, the end will be here and we will all be here to rejoice with you and around you!
Praying for the battle that you are having with the nausea to subside so that you may rest well and with peace and comfort. We are also praying for the antibotics to knock out the small bit of infection that remains in your lung. And of course we are praying for this journey to end so that you may begin a new and improved one with your students and peers at PRHS.
Lots of Prayers,
The Cotner's
Runners always say that the last mile is the hardest, you my friend are a soldier of the cross and the last mile may be difficult but through the Lord Jesus Christ you can do all things. May the last mile be a much celebrated victory no matter what it holds.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Love,
Sheri
Erin,
I heard of your battle and found your blog. I've been praying for God to give you the strength you need to endure the treatments.
God promises His grace to get you through the trials in life. Isaiah 41:10 states "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am you God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." I have claimed His promise for you.

Love ya bunches! Aunt Debbie
Ok, I'm ordering up the Gatorade and will notify David of his duties!
As always, you are a STELLAR example Erin...impressive that you walked your mile with plenty of excuses to beg out! You are TOUGH...God made you TOUGH ENOUGH to make it through this, and you WILL reap HIS rewards.
Hey little bulldog! You're almost there - the rainbow at the end of the journey is just around the corner. Hang tough! And if you get bored - your Diamond Dogs are playing for the College World Series Championship tonight!! Much love, Pat L.
I love you, Erin! I pray for you everyday. You are so strong.
I'm so glad you could come to Andrew & Kristen's last night. Wow - we are going to miss those two. They are totally awesome. (Just like you ... totally awesome yourself!)
Love you toooo much!
Ms. Christy
