Day +27

Hello Prayer Warriors, Thanks for the continued prayers. Erin had a couple of bouts of nausea last night but slept pretty good after that. She finished her 2 miles again yesterday. What a feat that is for these patients. They brought in a bucket-o-pills this morning and Erin is really trying hard to face them down. She will probably get platelets today since they are 14 this morning. She also has to get a nebulizer treatment of some sort that prevents pneumonia. It is a once a month treatment and replaces the antibiotic she used to take for that. So that is a good trade I think. Her nurses bought her a gift today. A white coat like the Drs wear. She has been thinking for a year and a half that she has earned her degree from Emory and deserves a white coat to wear. So they got one for her and told her they would embroider it for her. She is thinking hard of something cute to put on it. "Dr Butts" need not submit any entries! Anyway, we are so thankful to our Lord for His unfailing grace toward Erin. We have been surrounded by His angels this whole time in the form of great nurses, super Drs, and a loving community of friends. We are blessed and humbled. Thank you just doesn't cover it. blessings, janet

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith." Hebrews 12:1-2

Praying that Erin continues to heal, a hedge of protection from the germs, rest for mom and dad, and all the other blessings that our Lord has for all of you. Hope to see you walking the streets of Ashton Wood in the near future.

In my prayers. -Tracy Bishop

This is such good news! 2 miles - you go girl! How great is our God! He is fighting on your behalf. After all, if He did it for the Israelites, He'll do it for you, too! Then I said to you, "Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place." (Deut. 1:29-31)
We will continue to pray for relief from nausea, protection of your immune system, complete and total healing, and much, much, needed rest!

Blessings and peace,
The Harden's

May the bucket-o-pills start to go and stay down as easy as can be. That will be our prayer this day! TOTALLY impressed with your miles!

Love,
