Thank you Prayer Warriors for your continued prayers. We thank God for each of you as we start another day in need of prayer. Erin had a yucky day yesterday. She had 3 bad bouts of nausea and a lot of pain throughout the day. They had taken off her Scopolamine patch 2 days before because it was drying her mouth out so bad. I think it caught up with her and that caused the nausea. So we got another one last night. They also increased her basal rate on her pain pump. Unfortunately, that put her to sleep which means she couldn't cheer for our Dawgs. That caused our Bulldawgs to lose. Poor dawgs. Anyway, in between her pain, she pushed herself to walk 11 laps. She is amazing. Her liver enzymes continued to drop today and the biggest news is she lost 3.5 lbs today. Halleluia!! We are all very optomistic that this tide is turning, but we still have a ways to go. Please pray for decreased pain, decreased nausea, decreased ascites, and increased energy. The Drs all keep saying walking is her best therapy right now. I know that she only gets it done by the grace of God.
Hope you all have a blessed Labor Day. Hug each other for us, janet

Praise Jesus for 3.5 pounds.
i'm so thankful for your weight loss...here's to another 3 or more being gone today. You're all in the forefront of all my prayers. This fire you are in is beginning to go out and we are eager for you to be on the other side of all this pain.
We love you so much!
Erin, I continue to think about you and pray for you daily. I can only imagine how exausted that you must be and I admire the strength and determination that you possess that could only come from God. What an increadible whitness for Him. Imagine the smile on Gods face when He sees you and your family giving Him glory still through the midsts of this trial. God bless you for the impact that you have made in my life and the lives of others. -love, laura courtney
Praising for the loss of fluid and asking for more. Know that you are lifted often. -Tracy
P.S. The moment she says cookie, we are ready to bake.
One of the 'major themes' of the SS lesson today in The Journey is "Jesus is the Master of any situation and the conqueror of any enemy", and your post yesterday sure claimed that loud and clear. We know that God is with you in this storm, and give thanks for every sign of improvement for Erin, who is so precious to us. We love you all!

I'm reading about her not so great day of feeling yucky and then you tell me that she walked 11 laps. I found myself saying "wow" aloud. What an amazing girl with the Spirit working in and through her.
