Hello family and friends,
Our thanks to you for all your prayers. Erin is doing well. So happy to have gotten her line out this week. Her smile is much brighter now!! Really, that was a huge praise! She is starting work tomorrow. Teachers go back for preplanning, then the students return next week. So there is our first prayer request..energy to work and germ free students!! She has already placed her gallon size Germ-X by the door of her room. And she has a couch in one of the administrator's offices that she can use any time she needs it. PRHS has been very sweet and supportive. Erin said the "room fairies" had her room all set up when she went to see it. Thanks "room fairies"!! Erin is very excited to get back to normal activities. Our last big hurdle from Emory will be her echocardiogram and bone marrow biopsy this Thurs. She is NOT looking forward to it. However, we are all looking forward to the sterling results she will get a few days after the biopsy. Hopefully she will get good lab results also and not need any blood products. It has been such a long haul with such frequent lab work that it may be hard for us to slow down to monthly labs. We are sort of co-dependent on the info. Much like the blog became a source of comfort to us, we may need to wean off of the clinic.
Anyway, God is AWESOME and we praise Him for all things. We have passed through the fire holding our sweet Savior's hand and we are not burned. My hope and prayer is that we will be bolder witnesses for Him, now that we have gone through this trial. I think we definitely have learned a thing or two to share. :-) We are blessed and we love you! hugs, janet
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43:1-3

I can't wait to see you tomorrow at school Erin! We are continuing to pray for you all. Love, Terry
YAY for teacher Erin! I saw you today as you walked by but you were too fast to catch! (Maybe I am slow?)
I have one more day and then my pre-planning starts Tuesday. Wonder if those room fairies will come by my room? HAHA
it was wonderful seeing you today...praying strength, energy, and His protection wrapping you as in a net.
Know you will be held up in prayers, especially this week during the transition. WE LOVE YOU!
"It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights." 2 Sam 22:33-34
Erin, you are not just anybody. You are God's creation and instrument! He will equip you with everything that you need as you need it. Prayers are swarming already for Thursday's test and for your new year as Survivor-Teacher! There's no room for fear in you, because you are too full of determination and love! Praise God!! The sun (Son) is rising before you, and it's a new day!
Blessings,
Susan Simpson
Hi Erin! Hope preplanning DAY ONE went well! We are praying for those stellar results from the biopsy Thursday.
Hugs and Kisses!
I am so excited to see you tomorrow! You are back to school, and I can't wait to hear about it. Love you and see you soon!
