Hello all, Yes we miss you too!! Really!! Erin has had a good week. Praise the Lord! She had an appt wed and her numbers were still low but not low enough to get anything. Her white count was 0.7 which is double what it was on Sunday. Her Platelets were 30 and her ANC was 176. Today we had another appt and the numbers hadn't moved much. Her white count was 0.8, platelets 46 and ANC 320. So slowly they are creeping up. Unfortunately they are not high enough to go to campmeeting so we will just look doubly forward to next year. She was really disappointed about it but we are so close to the end, we don't want to risk a setback. On a happy note, she is getting away with her girlfriend to Hilton Head this weekend for some R&R. No sun, no crowds, but lots of fun. We are getting our dogs back from my sister this weekend too!! Can't tell you how excited we are. All you dog lovers will appreciate how we feel! So, slowly, normalcy is returning. Thank you for the prayers. We could not have made this journey without your support. Our hearts are full to overflowing with the love of Christ poured out on us by all of you. Still, every day I am tempted to give into self pity but I am reminded of how merciful God has been to Erin and I know that I have to choose Praise over Pity. Praise gives me the positive attitude I need to take the next breath, the next step. Pity would only give me puffy eyes and a sour face. Who wants that? You see, faith is full of daily choices! Sometimes hourly! Please join us in continuing to pray for energy and increased numbers. Erin will hopefully get her line out next Wed. and she is scheduled for her bone marrow biopsy on the 7th. Maybe then she will feel closer to normal again. Our love to you all. We are blessed! Praise Him with us! janet
"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgements, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen." Romans 11:33-36

Prayers for strengthening, replenishment with girlfriends, doggie hugs and kisses, and continued obedience to His Word.
We are thank for His Hand in everything and His watchful eye over us.
Erin, you are a new butterfly, tender from the cocoon of illness, and you are getting ready to fly like you have never flown before!

“This is what the LORD says: ‘Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he knows and understands me,...’” (Jeremiah 9:23-24a).
I know you are disappointed but wow!... how far you have come. Have a great time at the beach (Leah will be jealous when I tell her).
God reminded me to wear my "Erin button" to Friday night camp meeting and many people asked about you....so, you WERE there and in our prayers and thoughts, too!
Praying you're enjoying the BEACH!
Our prayers are focused on getting those numbers up, reflecting Erin's healing and recovery.
Have fun at Hilton Head!
Love,
The Stills
