Day 3 of RSV

Blessings Prayer Warriors,

Thanks for the prayers. Erin is doing fine. She just started the second half of today's treatment. The Dr said last night that if her CT is clear we may be able to go home tomorrow. We are just waiting on the results. We are super excited about that and ask for prayers for a clear CT. With the snow scheduled to come in tomorrow, it would be nice to be home in our own beds, especially since it is her birthday. Erin's IgG level is low, so while she is here they are going to go ahead and give her IVIG, which is a 6 hour infusion. She has never had that before but it will help boost her immune system. She is scheduled next Wed for her bone marrow biopsy and hopefully will get started on some of her immunizations for the more common things like flu, tetanus, pneumonia etc. So, as you can see, she has a very busy schedule. She has been filling her 3 hour tent times with TV since they don't recommend getting the medicine on books or computers. Today she watched 3 hours of "Chuck". This afternoon it is food network. She isn't stir crazy yet and for that we are thankful. The Dr even commented on how well she is taking this treatment. She said most people really come unglued. They must not have the same glue Erin has... love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, fathfulness, and self control. Praise God for His gifts that see us through these trying times!! Thanks again for the prayers. love, janet

The Message Galatians 5:22-23 "But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely. "
