It's March!!

Blessings Prayer Warriors,
Thanks for all the prayers. We just got back from the clinic and Erin got another good report. First, her labs were wonderful again. Her liver enzymes went down again by 21, 54, and 12. All great numbers for this week. Praise the Lord! We are hoping for totally normal very soon. Her iron is very high and they told her they were going to have to bring out the leaches next time. Actually, they just drain a pint or two, like giving blood. They said that it is common to have high iron after receiving so many transfusions. Apparently this is not a high tech procedure, but an ancient treatment which started in Egypt 3000 years ago. Of course I trust Emory a little more than an ancient witch doctor! ;)
Erin got 3 vaccines today; tetanus, meningitis, and pneumonia. Yeah for shots! The big surprise gift she got today was that the Dr said she doesn't have to take Posi anymore!! WooHoo! That is the med she hates the most, so she is ecstatic. Please pray that this medicine change won't cause any increase in her GVH. Now that her liver is getting better, we don't want any problems. But as we all know, God is in the details, so we are not worried. We are just praising Him that things are looking so good! Thanks for the prayers.

"A cheerful heart is good medicine..." Proverbs 17:22

That's the kind of medicine we can all administer. Go forth and use your cheerful heart to bring healing to everyone you meet!! hugs, janet
