Dear Prayer Warriors,
Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer for Erin over these past 2 1/2 years. We have been so blessed! Today Erin got her results from her bone marrow biopsy and everything was great! Praise God for that. Her CD4 was up and her Dr said she can now get into a pool! Yeah, especially in this hot weather! Her IGg was low though so they are going to set her up for 4 treatments of IVIG over the next few months. That will boost her immune system so she will be ready for the kids when school starts in a few weeks. Her only symptom right now is wrist and hand pain which is a form of GVH. They are going to watch it closely and probably increase her immunosuppressants. I say probably because they were waiting on a few more numbers from her labs to come back. They will e-mail us later today and let us know.
So today was a day of "P"s. Erin got Perfect results, Pool permission, Phantom tickets for tonight (thanks Martins!), and she Painted her appt. So we have lots of Praises!!
Erin has settled nicely into her new appt and we painted an accent wall today in her bedroom so she is looking very "Southern Living" now. Laura just found an appt yesterday so we will be getting her moved and decorated in a week or two.
God has been so gracious to our family through this time of trouble and we are slowly getting back to normal in many areas. I am attaching a photo of Erin at the lake. Since she wasn't allowed to get in the lake, we put up a kiddie pool for her to float in. She loved it!
Like my sister said, Erin has the gift of resilience and has shown us all again and again how to persevere and lean on God! Wow, what a testimony she has been to all of us! I for one, am humbled to have been able to share this journey with her. We have learned so much together. As a matter of fact, we are still learning. As the lessons of the past couple of years sink in, we sit in awe of a Mighty God who carried us through every detail along the rocky road. I just know He has great things in store for her in the future and I can't wait to watch His hand at work.
Thanks again for your love and prayers! With God's blessing, may this be our last blog. Can I get an AMEN??? love you all, janet
