Thurs 8/7

Hip Hip Hooray for the last bone marrow biopsy today!! Erin did great. Her numbers were super so she didn't need any blood products!! God is so good!! Thank you Lord!! Erin had to have an echocardiogram and made a little deal with the technician. She had asked if the tech could tell her if everything was o.k. The tech said that she wasn't allowed to interpret the results. So, Erin said "we could have a secret code, you could just scratch your nose if everything looks good." So after the scan the tech told her she could go and then deliberately scratched her nose. It made Erin's day!! Then Erin had to have the bone marrow biopsy. She totally entertained the nurses and PA with her drug induced banter. They were all cracking up. So, all in all, a good day! We should get the results next week some time, so keep the prayers going up, God is listening!


Erin started back to school this week. She is really feeling the fatigue big time! And the students aren't even back yet! They start Monday! The teachers have been super supportive!! The ninth grade English dept at PRHS is awesome. Isn't it amazing how God blesses us when we come together as a community to help each other in times of need? God's love is shining through all of you!! Thanks so much!! We are blessed!! love, janet

"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore." Psalm 133 AMEN

Good luck this week with the kids. I am looking forward to going back, as I am sure you are. I will be praying for you! You are such an inspiration! Your strength and you and your family's love for God has really gotten me through some rough times this year and has continued to be a growth for my faith. God is definitely using you!
