Ground Zero

Yep, the title is correct… we’re at ground zero. Carol had her blood work done today and she has a ZERO white blood cell count. So… it’s time to stay out of the public and away from everyone and just work on healing.
I created a little reminder titled “Germ-a-phobic” as a side-bar (look to the right below prayer requests). Something to refer too before considering a visit with us... We may seem a little stubborn or over-reactive but this is our first and we are praying only journey through Chemo…. So please forgive us.
Outside of her blood work today, she’s still fatigued and has a little nausea. Otherwise she looks great, and we are all really proud of her. She’s lost 10 pounds after last weekends ride (on the Chemo Roller Coaster). So I’m emphasizing nutrition this weekend in hopes of helping her get that white cell count up.
Yes, it’s a relatively short post tonight, but hey it’s Friday and we want to kick back and relax. So… keep praying (specifically for her white blood cell count to come up, and to be protected from infection) and take a look at our other prayer requests in the side bar.
Thanks Kira for taking Carol to her appointment. Thanks Jere for a wonderful supper... mighty good indeed! Lastly, thanks Tammy for the surprise visit arms open baring gifts and all. We are SO... BLESSED!
Good night, and God Bless… - Eric
