Dear Family,
Happy New Year 2012!
We praise our GOD for ALL HE IS DOING!!! We thank HIM that Middie MOm's
Red Cells and Hemoglobin were so good today that she did not neeed her arasnap
shot. ONLY GOD COULD DO THAT!!!! We also thank HIM that her HCT, MCV, MCH, and
MCHC were ALL normal!!!!! These are all blessings from our Lord.
As you have heard, her white cells dropped (not too bad, it's 2.8 and
it's suppose to be 3.5) . Also, her platelets dropped to 58 ( they were ok with
them----they don't "worry" about them until they are under 20. PLEASE PRAY THAT
THEY WILL NO TDROP ANY MORE.
Our very serious concern is her ANC---it was O . ANC is the part of the
white cells that fight infection.
We need to pray that God will raise these cells and she will NOT get any
kind of infection.
Today was the first day that I saw and heard Mom cry . SHe was so
disappointed that Steph and Ryan and Hannah and Griffie could not come today and
Allie and Jon, and Caleb, Rachie, Jakie, and Sarah Joy can not come tomorrow.
She was so upset too whenshe had to tell Paula and Steph could not come back
once they left until after her cells came up. (We're all excited , however,
that hopefully, we'll get to see everybody on Saturday through the living room
window. We KNOW GOD HAS A REASON for this disappointment and we're TRUSTING
HIM to take ethis reason and use it for HIS GLORY.
I can tell that Dad is hurting too---inside and out. His legs are hurting
and he is very concerned about Mom. His shaking has increased and he's staying
up in his bedroom lots. Please pray for him too.
Tomorrow he and I are going to the dr. to try to get a preventive
medication(like Mom is taking) so we won't spread infection. Mom and Steph are
going to stay with Mom while we are at the dr.
We very GRATEFUL FOR ALL you all do for us....
Paula and Steph, you were definitely a GOD-SEND this week, not just for ALL
THE WORK YOU DID, but to help encourage Mom and Dad and me too.
Cathy and John, you werealways a GOD-Send to provide food and shelter for
our family and to have our Christmas dinner. (We're so sorry, Cathy, that your
tea had to been cancelled, and changed, Mom was so looking foreward to it and i
know you have worked so hard to plan every single detail.
Linda and Harrison, we were so sorry to miss your Christmas Eve celebration
again this year, but we were so grateful for ALL you sent to us. You made us
feel included , even though we couldn't be there.
To you all, we LOVE YOU and thank your for your PRAYERS, LETTERS, CALLS,
and EMAILS.
Please pray God will continue to do "exceedingly abundantly above what we
can ask or think" and next week's report will be wonderful. Also, pray for Dr.
Misleh to have wisdom to make the right decisions about Mom's care. And pray
that our GREAT GOD will strengthen Mom's body so we can continue to serve Him
as a family, and testify of HIS FAITHFULNESS, so others can come to know and
love HIM!
One more prayer request---Mom's IRON sky-rocketed. Please pray that it
will come down ASAP.
We love you all! Thanks for your faithful prayers and love.
Love and Prayers, AUntie ANn
