No Chemo Today
Ashley is still feeling good and full of energy and smiles!!!
Well, Ashley didn't get her chemo today. We are feeling pretty bummed about it, too. It's so strange how she can look so great and feel so great and have low counts. The doctor said that she is probably battling a virus and that is why her counts are low. Since I had a cold last week and Megan is fighting one now, that is probably the case. Her ANC today was 792. The doctors want it to be around 900-1000.
So, please pray for us. Pray that we stay healthy, that we keep our hopes up, and that we don't forget God's goodness to us. We are so grateful that God has protected Ashley (and our 3 year old Cade) from all of the viruses that they have been exposed to these last 6 months. Neither of them have been sick at all since we started treatment. We thank God for walking with us through this and giving us peace. We are learning to fully rely on God. We also know that it is amazing that Ashley has not had any infections or fevers during her treatments and it is God who has kept her well.
Thanks for remembering us in your prayers!
Pray that Ashley's counts will go up for next week's chemo and that she continues to stay well by the power of our God. Nothing is impossible for Him.

So sorry to hear Ashley's counts are down but glad she's not feeling sick. When I read the blog, I groaned a disheartening, "Oh no!", worrying David. I have been praying for you and we prayed for you at Moms in Touch today as well. Will continue to pray Isaiah 26:3,4 for you (it meant a lot to me a couple years ago): "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal." Praying that you can rest in His perfect peace as you trust in Him and keep your mind focused on him. I know God has been your Rock through this time and I pray that He will continue to provide that firm foundation for you to stand strong. Love you!

Miss Penny says Hello and I am keeping you in my prayers. I am still working on your memory book for Kindrgarden and am looking foreward to the day you can join your classmates.
