Tues 6/17

Hello all, Welcome to baby Tyler (Erin's new little cousin)! Erin is feeling fine today. She has had a couple of days to play and that has been refreshing to her spirit. Thanks for all the prayers. We believe God is who He says He is! And we believe God can do what He says He can do! So we have total faith that his timing in round 5 will be perfect. Tomorrow we will have labs done in the morning and find out if they have a room for us. Please pray for a speedy recovery. Again we want to thank you all for keeping up with Erin so that when we need speedy prayer, we can count on you to help us. We have been blown away by all the miracles we have been blessed with throughout this ordeal. And you are each a miracle to us! We love you! janet

Mon 6/16

Hello all, we just got back from the clinic. Erin's numbers weren't great but she didn't need any blood products. Her ANC was only 713 when we expected it to be 1200+. It is supposed to be above 1000 for her to go out in public. Oops, went to church yesterday and out to eat. It's so hard to stay home! I hope this slow rise in her numbers doesn't keep us from being able to start round 5. The timing is important but of course we want the best for Erin. Thanks for the prayers. Every step we take is in God's hands, so we know we are safe and secure. Thanks for walking this rocky road with us. We'll keep you posted. love, janet

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day all! Erin was able to go to church today which is a big praise. She did a lot of hugging- another good medicine. Please pray for her strength as she is very tired today. She goes back to the clinic for labs tomorrow. Please also pray for her to be able to get in for chemo on Wed as scheduled. Sometimes there aren't any beds available. We really want her to stay on schedule so she will have time to regain her strength before school starts. Thanks as always for your love. May the Blessings of the Father pour down on you and yours. Love , janet

Dear Prayer Warriors, thank you for checking in. Erin is doing fine today, just tired. She is hoping to get to church tomorrow. She misses seeing everyone more than you know. It has been a month since she has had the freedom to get out of the house, other than Dr visits. Thank you for your prayers. We are grateful for every prayer lifted up. Blessings on you all and the Dads our there! love, janet

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Luke 11:11-13

Fri 6/13

Good afternoon prayer warriors, Thank you for your perseverance! Erin is feeling good today, just a little hot now and then as she is still fighting the infection. We just try to take it one day at a time. We appreciate the Lord's blessings every day, in every detail. We think Erin's numbers should be up by now and she is looking forward to getting to go to church on Sunday. She is excited to have a break even if it is only 4 days. Hopefully we will have only 4 more weeks before she can have a normal life again. We pray that you have a wonderful Father's Day weekend. Blessings, janet

Thurs 6/12

Good Morning. I mean it, it's a GOOD morning. We are so happy to be home. Erin is feeling so much better. She still has to face the bucket-o-pills but her stomach is getting better and she has more energy now that she is eating. God is so good. Wow, we just have these major downturns and upswings in short amounts of time. It is like a rollercoaster. You get scared and sick feeling and then when it is over you can look back and say, wow, look what God just brought us through again. It is a very physically and emotionally challenging experience. We are exhausted. Thank you for the prayers that have kept Erin's name before our Lord. He has been faithful to answer us with His precious grace. Please pray that we get in on wed for our final round. We don't want to get delayed because of the stress of waiting and the timing of her recovery. After all, she wants to get to campmeeting and have time to get some strength back before school starts again. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I am not sure Erin sees it yet, she is still facing some tough days ahead. We love you all! janet

"All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2Cor:15-18 AMEN

6/11 update HOME SWEET HOME

Hallelujah, We are home. Erin was able to keep down a baked potato for lunch so they let us go. We did do a little begging I must confess. But home is good medicine. Thank you so much for your continued prayers. God has truly blessed us with magnificent friends. Please pray she can continue to eat and drink without upset. We go back Monday for labs and are scheduled to go back for round 5 on wed. That round will be 2 days in, 5 days home and 2 more days in. Then she will need 3 weeks of recovery. Then we will plan a big celebration! We love you all, thanks for hanging with us through this long long process. We are blessed to have you on our team! God is good!! Hallelujah!! hugs, janet
