Day +40/ updated with photo


Hello Prayer Warriors,
Thanks as always for your love in the form of prayers! We just got back from the clinic and Erin got a good report. Her platelets have come up to 68! WooHoo! God is Awesome! So we had a fast visit, no infusions necessary. We got to see Megan there today, what a treat. And she has hair!! Such an inspiration. Megan's transplant was 6 months before Erin's and she looks great. I took a picture but it will take Erin's expertise to put it on the blog. We follow Megan's progress closely because we figure Erin will be going through similar things.
Erin's night went a lot better last night but when I went up to give her the 3 a.m. pills, she wasn't in her bed but had set herself up in the bonus room. I asked her why she was in there and she couldn't remember. But she had the food network on and her phone, bucket and water nearby so it was definitely a planned thing. She says the chemo makes her crazy.... who knows??
Crazy or not, we are thankful for her progress and praying for continued strength and energy. Bless you all for your prayers. janet

"But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall." Malachi 4:2

Is that sort of like Bulldawgs released from the scrimmage line?

What awesome news! Praise God! This makes my day. I love you all. keep an eye on Erin so that she doesn't actually start cooking while the Food Network is on the chemo is in the system. Who knows- you could come up with some delicious new treat.

Ok Erin, so I have been a not-so-good friend. I have been promising new gifts and saying they would be on their way. Well I do have the idea and know what I will do but I have not done it yet. I'm going to get to it, I promise! You know I never break a promise...

I'm glad to hear your numbers are continuing to climb. Your picture looks great! You definitely still have that "Erin smile." I love that smile! Well I hope you continue to thrive. Look for us while you watch the UGA game on Saturday! We'll be way up in the stands!

Love ya!
Monica
