God answered prayer and let Christen come home Sunday afternoon! This was the first time that her methetrexate level had dropped so quickly. Christen was very glad to get home. It made it even nicer that Louie, Laura, and Patricia were all there at UVA to receive the news and drive home with us. We had a very nice visit. Additionally, our dear friends at Mt. Zion gave Christen a really nice poster that they had made for her since she couldn't be at the VBS this year. That provided us a nice reminder of the LIGHT in the tunnel (thanks Sue).
Christen has 4 more treatments. She goes back in this coming Thursday and would love company. In some ways it gets harder every time.
She will be a week or two behind when school starts because the chemo treatments will (hopefully) be complete by the 1st or 2nd week of September. She is really looking forward to returning to "normal" life this fall, including school. Pray that she will be able to catch up quickly and have clarity of thought since the chemo effects the ability to concentrate.
Again, many thanks for your prayers. God truly answers them!
Steve & Debbie for the family

What terrific news! We are so grateful that you were able to come home "early"! We love you Christen, and are praying for you.
Wonderful news! We will keep praying!
So happy your beautiful family had a "break" of sorts. We checked the blog daily and, although we missed you, prayed it was a "no news is good news" situation. We are praying for God's power and peace and presence and love to invade this cancer with the power of the resurrection! Our prayers continue...Anne and Bob Daknis
thinking of you all.....
Rjoicing with you!
