Just 9 days ago, this group was starting to form. Ryan felt that I needed 20 on our knees believers and here we are, just a little over a week and we are at 21 praying people!. I talked to Cindy on Friday and she revealed so many answers to our prayers.
Praise the Lord!
1) Caitlin has low energy but is not depleated.
2) The shots in her abdomen aren't very painful.
3) Grandma Ginny's house is a blessing being so close to the hospital for treatment.
4) Cindy and Caitlin and getting into a routine that is workable for both of them.
The next phase of treatment will be to have her stem cells removed form her blood and frozen. Her white blood cells can then start to climb back into the normal range. Her white blood count was 200 on Friday. A normal count is over 4,000. October 28th is the scheduled time for her stem cells to be reintroduced into a cancer free Caitlin! I am not a very technical kind of person so I hope that this lay man's version is close enough for all of us to be able to lift Caitlin up in specific targeted prayer.
Prayer needs:
1) The environment that surrounds Caitlin needs to be sterile. That includes people and family members. Cindy and Wayne will have to make some hard calls this week to keep Caitlin save. Pray for wisdom for all of them
2) Grandma Ginny needs to be upheld as her chemo treatment progresses.
Ryan has started a wonderful blog for us to use that will be more user friendly The site is if2ormore.blogspot.com He has easy to follow directions about how to become a subscriber. Then the blogspot will e-mail you with the updates. Now... I'm not sure how to get this update on the blogspot tonight and it is 11:00 P.M. Idaho time so can't call Ryan. It's a good thing no one is up reading this anyway! In His love, Jan
