Chemotherapy another round

Colleen went for her clinic appt on friday we were hoping that her white and red counts would not have recovered so she could have a week off. Her counts were ok so she was given cytaribine( name mentioned for our chemistry and nurse friends who might be interested). She is also getting 3 shots daily for the next 3 days of cytarabine and taking an oral pill called mercaptopurine. We are thankful that she seems to be tolerating the chemotherapy well. She tires easily and has moderate stomach pain in the evening- not sure why but tolerating it well with no new strange side effects-Praise the Lord. Thank you for praying often for Colleen. We know that God is the Great Physician and he is able to heal Colleen and help our family through this trying time.

Thank you to our friends The Wart Hogs- a motorcyle group of retired policemen and firefighters for their generous gift. We really appreciate the fact that people who have never met us are so willing to help us. Thank you again. Thank you also to our wonderful church family at Inter-City Baptist in Allen Park and our sunday school class the ambassadores  for the gift card and the wonderful dinners you have provided.

I tried to post a new picture of Colleen in the beaver hat she was given at her clinic appt but they just aren't turning out today. Will try again in a few days. Thank you again.
