Encouragement

I John 5:14
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that,
if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

This morning as we headed to the clinic, we felt we needed a little bit of encouragement. Sometimes the days are long and the nights are even longer it seems. Even though we know things are going according to schedule after the transplant, we can still get a little discouraged.
Every day they take Jerry's blood count to see how he is progressing. Today his white blood count was 3.0. We were both so excited!!! His red blood count is also coming up and he is still making platelets. We almost shouted right there in the Clinic. We know it's because of all the prayers.
We love you.

  10. Looking at this picture the staff has voted on who is prettier you are me. They are divided and that is bad because i pay their salaries. Get up and around because there are a couple of BIG bucks waiting for me to come up ti S.C. Maybe you can come down and help me put these poor animals out fo their misery.
