Well, I’m getting a little desperate here... so I thought I’d give a shout out for some extra prayer support.   It’s been a slow bounce back with this round of chemo.    Umm, actually the bounce back hasn’t really started yet.   My energy is low to non-existent, and I’ve been in pretty severe pain this afternoon and evening, I think as a result of my neulasta shot.   As it encourages white blood cell production in my body, it’s making my bones ache.

Dani is a saint, working her heart out around here.    She even rigged this hot pack out of a hat from the girl’s dress up box and bunch of rice - it brought a bit of relief, and I was so grateful.  I don’t know what I would do without her!

So, I just thought I’d ask you all that are praying for us to keep it up, pray that I would get some relief from the bone aches, that my energy would increase, and for Dani and Nate as they are doing so much to care for the children and me.  

Thanks to all of you who are praying and encouraging us... I’m reminded of the footprints in the sand poem, how in the hard places the Lord carried them.   I know He is doing that for us, but I also know that the last steps to the top of the mountain can be the hardest!
