More Chemo

Christen is at UVA having received another dose of chemo this past Thursday. We are hoping that she will be able to come home tomorrow, but one never knows. We have to wait for the chemo concentration in her blood to drop below a certain level, and we have learned that it is hard to gauge when that will happen. She is doing as well as might be expected, chemo being what it is.

We have to make a final decision by Tuesday of this week on whether to continue with the study. We would appreciate continued prayer for wisdom.

Christen will hopefully come home tomorrow, and will return to UVA for the next dose of chemo on Thursday.

Thanks to all of you for the prayer and support.

Steve & Debbie

Thank you for the update on Christen, we are continuing to pray for her. Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Warrenton had her lifted in prayer on Sunday morning.

We will pray for God's guidence in your decision making on Tuesday.

May God smile upon you,
Minister Earl Jackson and wife Kristy.

Praying....James' words, "If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask God, Who gives to all men generously and without reproaching and it will be given to him." Trusting in God's promise to you.

Dear Steve, Debbie and Christen, We are certainly praying for wisdom for each of you, and for the physicians. May God lead you in the decisions you need to make, and may you all be of one mind. We pray for you so much, and love each of you.
