3, 2, 1 and She'll be Done!!!

Christen is at UVA--came in Thursday morning for chemo. After this, she'll only have two more treatments to go!!!! WOW!!!! She's doing fairly well and greatly looking forward to starting school as soon as she can. At Christen's request, Hannah was given special permission to stay with us this time at UVA. It has been fun having her here.

Christen walks without crutches. Her physical therapist still comes out twice a week as she still needs to overcome her "limp." Her home health care nurse also comes out about twice a week to do lab work. We've really enjoyed getting to know these wonderful ladies.

We can't thank you enough for your help this year. Christen has spent 120 days in the hospital and 101 days at home so far. Her siblings have been blessed thanks to God and His provision of wonderful second homes. Dad and brother, Louie, have done well "baching" it; although Dad did stay at UVA a couple of times allowing me a few extra days at home. We're STILL being blessed with meals. I've often wanted to feel guilty about being so lazy in this way, and yet have been so grateful for this huge blessing which gives me time when home to take care of other things. I know I am really spoiled...

Praying for God's blessings to be poured out to each one of you, Debbie
