Spring - Holding!

Chris is hanging on to better blood counts! This is a tremendous blessing! We are so grateful! He had his first trip out of the area, as his Grandma was very ill, so we drove almost 8hrs. to be with her and family. Chris enjoyed seeing his "Gram" as well as his other Grands, cousins and family. His Gram has still got a long road ahead of her, we ask that if you would, could you remember her in prayer also? We also pray for joy, for her, us, and for you.

Came home to a beautiful garden, weeded by dear friends, and mulched!!!! What a delight and another blessing! So many! If only we could return the kindnesses that you all have given. We are trusting that God will fill each of you with His incredible joy. Thanks for the many continued prayers!!!

Amazing Things!

Wow! What an answer to prayer! Chris has had quite a time with his blood counts, and is now not only mask free, but almost back to where he should be!!!! We feel this is truly a gift he's been given from God. The Dr. said last week that the chemo reaction that Chris had was so rare, and that he'd only seen maybe 4 or 5 patients with it. Then he added that he could tell us now that he didn't think his white cells would've come back and that he had truly thought that Chris would've needed a bone marrow. We thank you for the continued prayers!!! We also did not have to go to the hospital all weekend and got to go locally to get his blood counts checked, which was wonderful! Since he is doing so good, he doesn't have to have blood drawn till he goes for a re-ck next week!!!!

Easter was exceptionally special with a beautiful day. Chris enjoyed his nieces and nephews and it was great. We hope yours was too.

Mask Free!

Good News!!! Chris' white cells are still moving upwards! He is "mask" free for now! He is so glad! We are not going to push things too fast though. No children for visitors at the moment, and if you've been around anyone with a cold, flu, etc...we ask that you please wait a bit before coming over. Anyone wanting to visit to please give us a quick call to see if Chris is up to it. Also, that visits shouldn't be real long, as he does tire easily. This is such a blessing to us! Thanks for the many prayers!!!!
