She Got Her Chemo!!!
Again, we thank God for caring for Ashley. He has protected her from the virus that Megan had last week, and today her counts were high enough that the doctor decided to give her chemo (off schedule). If you remember, last week, the doctor told us that the chemo would be bumped to the end of treatment, but after some discussion, he decided it would be more beneficial to give Ashley chemo today when her counts are up, instead of waiting another 3 weeks without chemo. Ashley's ANC this week was 1344! I was reminded that God is working in our little girl and that He is also working in Tad and I. He is teaching us to trust him and that nothing is too hard for Him. "When doubts filled by mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer."
Psalm 94:19
Thank you for continuing to pray for us. We pray that Ashley's side effects from this chemo will be minimal and that the chemo will destroy any cancer cells remaining. We ask God to put a wall of protection around Ashley, guarding her from illness. Also, that her RBC, WBC, and ANC will continue to grow and stay strong.
This is a picture I took of Ashley, today. As you can see, she is feeling pretty good right now, even after chemo and a flu shot!!
Thanks for your prayers!

Isn't it funny to be so excited about Ashley getting her chemo! I know it is relieving to know she doesn't have to have it added to the end, but it's funny how things work and your way of thinking changes. We keep praying for you and Ashley. We are so grateful that she has remained so healthy and strong during this time. May she continue to do well in the remaining weeks! It's almost over!
