Next Chemo Started


Christen is at UVA tonight working on her next round of chemo. So far everything is going well. Scott drove Melanie, Emily, and Marianna down this evening to see Christen. The very first thing that happened to Christen and Debbie when they were admitted to the room this afternoon was a student nurse from a previous visit dropped in to give Christen a nice Valentines card and gift. The card says among other things "...More people are praying for you and your family than you know!" That is a such a wonderful thought. Christen keeps receiving cards in the mail from folks that she has never met before. Amazing.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support. Christen will be finished the actual chemo infusion tonight, but it will 48 hours or so for it work out of her system. Please pray for her as the side-effects begin to set in over the next day or so.

Steve & Debbie

The picture is great! How wonderful that some of Christen's friends could go to UVA with her. And, how sweet of the nursing student to give her a valentine gift. We continue to pray! We love you. Jennifer Wellington
