Next Chemo Treatment

8Ashley got a haircut today!
Thank you for continuing to uphold Ashley in prayer. She is doing very well. She finished her final radiation treatment on Friday. She has had no symptoms or side affects from it. In fact,yesterday, she went swimming for the first time since surgery and had a great time. PRAISE GOD!! Another praise is that Ashley took her antibiotics over the weekend better than last weekend. The doctor prescribed a pill form of Septra that we can grind up and mix into a spoon of ice cream, pudding, etc. That made a big difference.

Ashley's chemo plan consists of 10 weeks of chemo every Wednesday (which started on July 30), and then every other Wednesday thereafter until the 24th week. Please pray for her treatment this Wednesday morning. Ashley will be getting a very strong chemical called "DOX-O". The doctors said that it can (in rare cases) cause heart damage, so please ask God to protect her heart. It can also make her sick to her stomach and will probably cause her to lose her hair. We are asking God to rid her body of any cancer cells and also to calm her stomach this week. This treatment along with the radiation from last week, will most likely cause her blood counts to drop very low. We ask God to guard her from any colds, flu, or fever.

Thanks again to all of you who are praying for us. We know that God hears each and every prayer. God has been providing us with everything that we need. We are so grateful for that peace that passes understanding. God is good!
