Lookin' Good!

Another week closer to Ashley's next chemo. Her counts today were higher than we expected. They were 750. She is still feelin' good and lookin' good. Ashley continues to have lots of energy. She has even been out riding her bike since the weather has been so nice in the afternoon.

Next Wednesday, Ashley is scheduled for chemo (AMD/VCR). If her counts are close to 1,000, her doctor will give her chemo. So please pray for Ashley's counts to go up. Also, please pray that the side effects will be minimal and that she won't be as nauseated from AMD this time.

She is a trooper. She is realizing that we are getting close to finishing treatment and is starting to talk about what she can't wait to do when she is done. She told me today that she "really wants to get this metaport out!" And that she really wants to go to the coast and walk on the beach. When she is there, she wants to "collect some beautiful shells and rocks and bring them home to put on my shelf." She also says that she would "like to go up to the snow and play." I think that spending time outdoors will be something she won't ever take for granted again.

We also have to tell you, that once again, God has shielded and protected Ashley and the rest of the family from the stomach flu that I had last week. We are overwhelmed by the power that God has and that cares so much about us.

Please pray for me (I've been fighting a cold that started Saturday!!) Also, please continue to pray that Ashley stays well and that her counts go up so that she can get chemo next week.

Thanks!
