Doing Well

Ashley continues to be doing well. Her counts today were very similar to last weeks counts, even after having a pretty strong chemo last week. I can tell that she is more tired than usual today, so please pray for her to get the rest that she needs and that her hemoglobin will go up. Also, the cold season is beginning, so please pray that she says healthy.

Our Children's Pastor, "Teacher Annette" came with us to clinic today. That was so special for both Ashley and I. Ashley loved showing her around the oncology clinic and showed "Teacher Annette" how brave she was when getting poked. (picture on top left)

Ashley also had an exciting day last Thursday. She got to take "Teddy" home from Kindergarten and write about what she did with him in a journal. (picture on the top right) The next day, she got to go to her Kindergarten class and bring him back for the next student to take him home. This was so neat because all of the kids in her class knew who she was from the picture hanging in the classroom. She was a celebrity that day. It was the first time that she got to meet all of her classmates and she was thrilled. She also had a playday with a new friend from her classroom, Rachael, last week, and one with her good friend Kaylin. She was busy!!!

I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends and family who care about us. We are also blessed by our neighbors, who are bringing us meals on Wednesdays. Thank you to each one of you! God has put so many caring people around us, showing us His love. Again, thank you to every person who is reads this blog and is diligently praying for Ashley. You are helping our faith to grow. Please continue to pray.

God has continued to give us peace, and we are amazed by Him.
