Feeling Good, But Tired!
As you know, Tad had a cold last week and we asked everyone to pray that Ashley wouldn't get sick because she had such low counts. Again we thank God for his protection. Ashley didn't catch Tad's cold!!!! (and no one else in our house did either!) Now in a family of 5 people, it is a rare occasion when only one of us gets sick and the rest stay well. PRAISE GOD!!
On Wednesday, Ashley went in to the clinic for her regular bloodwork and to get another treatment of a milder chemo (VCR). Her WBC (white blood cell) count came back up to 2.1 and her ANC (infection fighter count) went up to 1360. This all means that Ashley is at a lower risk of getting an infection this week. BUT . . . Ashley's RBC (red blood cell) count and hemoglobin have both gone down pretty low. The doctor said that Ashley might need a blood transfusion next Wednesday if her RBC and hemoglobin don't come back up. We have also noticed that Ashley is more tired and needs a nap almost every day. Please ask God to raise Ashley's RBC and hemoglobin this week. Also, we pray that she stays free from illness, because this could lower her RBC more. We thank God for knowing Ashley's inmost being and His ability to heal. Nothing is impossible for Him.
It has been such an encouragement to have so many people praying for Ashley. Every week we feel so much support from you in so many different ways. Again, thank you for the meals, phone calls or messages, cards, and little "surprises" you give to us. All of these things help us on our journey. We also thank God for being our strength.
Prayer requests:
That God may raise her RBC and hemoglobin this week.
That Ashley will have minimal symptoms from the strong chemo she will receive next Wednesday 9/5.
That Ashley stays healthy and illness free this week.
Praise reports:
That Ashley is feeling good!!!
That no one in our family caught Tad's cold last week!!!
For the way our friends and family have supported us. May God bless you !!!
That Ashley's WBC and ANC (infection fighters) went up this week!!!!!
