We received the results from yesterday's labs and are very grateful that Christen's counts have risen somewhat although still low. We are all rejoicing at this step up; she is sooo glad to be able to go out in public without a mask! This morning we went to The Galleria which Christen wanted to see as she said it is one of the largest malls in the U.S.
Late this afternoon, her PETCT was done. We will meet with the doctor Thursday morning after he has looked at the results. He will give us his thoughts then regarding what he believes to be the best course of action regarding further care. The PETCT will give a very good indication if there is any active cancer in her body at present. Statistically, she has a number of very big strikes against her for recurrence; however, we know that even this is under the control of a loving heavenly Father. It is not always easy to keep this in mind; but praise God, we do know it is true!
Tomorrow, we have "off." Pray for God's blessings on our time together and for wisdom for Dr. Anderson. Pray, too, for the scan results; and that in everything, God would be glorified. Christen remains her cheerful self inspite of all; and our other children seem to be hanging in there quite well.
Thanks to all for your prayers and support of our entire family!

That is great news that Christen's counts have started to rise! I hope that you all have a terrific day "off." We are praying for each of you, as well as the kids back here (-: We love you.
So glad the counts are coming up and that she has had a PET scan.Thanks for keeping us posted. We're thinking about you all a lot. I went to the art museum in Houston before my surgery and saw the most amazing marble sculpture I've ever seen. It was a life size sculpture of a clothed woman with a sheer drape held in her hands above her head. You could "see" her even though she was covered.Imagine that carved in solid stone!
Sorry...forgot to leave my name!
