HOME AT LAST!!

Dear Friends, We are done! Erin had her last chemo this afternoon and we are now home Praising God for His faithfulness!! All the nurses hugged her and cried with her as she left today. They said she was their favorite patient. They may say that to all the patients, but I don't think so. They said they had been talking about her and said even when she was at her low points and crying, she was also smiling and being very sweet to all the staff. Oh what a long journey. Erin says she is not over it until she feels better. Blessings on you all for walking this long journey with us. We love you and are grateful for all of you and all the prayers you sent up for Erin. Have a happy 4th of July! Love, janet

Congrats Erin! I can't wait to see you again when your numbers come up! As for school, I will make sure you are NOT overexerting yourself, okay? Since I have lots of free time from not being in grad school or planning a wedding this year, I am totally available to help with anything you need!! What will I do with all this free time? :) We will have a great school year, I promise. (It has to be better than last year, right??)

Hooray!

And, I'm sure they don't say that to all their patients. Erin, you were a blessing to them even in your pain. I am so excited for you and cannot wait to hear about the next few months in your life and what the Lord has planned. I love you and rejoice with you!! Praise God.

The Jefferson's are doing the happy dance! Okay, well John doesn't dance but the rest of us are dancing. Julia was so glad she could read that you were home and done with chemo before she leaves Friday for Alaska for 2 weeks.
Blessings!

How exciting!! I can't wait until you feel like eating some homemade ice cream - we will bring the ice cream and all the fixings over for our ice cream party! I'm so glad you are home. Just remember I have connections to a couch at school and you can come take a quick break when you need it....

Good Morning Erin:

Home in time to celebrate independence day with your own independence and freedom. What news could be better. You still have our support to do whatever we can to help you regain all your strength. Having you back to normal will be a blessing to us... and the kids.

Enjoy the holiday!

Congratulations Erin! I continue to be awed by your strength and grace through this ordeal. I am so glad that you get to go home and cannot wait to see you all better! Your journey has been such a testament to God's faith and I think that all of us who have witnessed it are stronger for it. Hope to see you soon!

Well Kiddo! You are done and praise God! Now that the uphill battle is over the rest is easy! We are so thrilled that you are home and for good! Praise God!

He was definitely in the details yesterday and now you are home where you will continue to see his Grace and blessings as you now begin your healing process in the comfort of your bed and surrounded by those who love you very much and continue to wrap you in steadfast love and prayers! Praise God for He is GREAT! He continues to be in the details for the plans that he has for you and they are great!

In just a matter of time you will be among your peers and students and how great is that?! The joy you must be feeling must be so overwhelming - we can all only imagine that kind of joy! If any one ever doubts the power of prayer, they just have to take one good look at you and know that prayer does work and can indeed result in wonderful things!

Looking forward to seeing you roaming the halls of FUMC Lawrenceville and are prayerful that you may feel up to attending one night of campmeeting! Save your strength and keep the faith as I know you will as its been your faith that has gotten you through the tough part of your 7 month journey and it will be your faith that will show its self in your healing process - Praise God!

Have a Fabulous 4th with your family and God Bless!

Continued Prayers and Blessings In His Name,
The Cotner's
