Happy Birthday, America!!!!

Happy 4th of July to everyone! 

This is Day 14. They said Jerry would be at his lowest with all the blood counts and feel his very worst. We were hoping they would be wrong - they weren't.  He is feeling pretty discouraged today, but I told him that was okay. He had every right to. I told him only REAL MEN could go through what he's going through. They said after a couple of days of feeling so bad, hopefully he'll start building back up.  His temperature is finally back to normal right now. That is going to help a lot. The fevers and the chills took a lot out of him. They did a lung scan to make sure there was no fluid build up. There was some, but for right now they are just going to check it every day to make sure it doesn't get any worse.  Again please be praying about the bone marrow biopsy tomorrow.

When you go through something like this, you can't help but think about the past a lot and long for other days and remember other 4th of Julys. We grew up together as children. We've known each other our whole lives just about. So we were remembering our younger summer days of swimming at Pfafflin's Lake, eating watermelon, playing Red Rover, Hide and Seek, sparklers, going to drive-in movie theatres to watch the fireworks, just being with family.

We love you and still believing we have a good God!
