I want to let all of you know the good news.

Today I received a good report from Dr. V.
My white blood cell count is 5000 - fantastic.
My other counts are also good and I am so thankful.

I appreciate your faithfulness to pray for me in my journey.
I am encouraged today and so grateful to our Lord for His goodness!

In His Grip and Care,

Love, Sharon

Hi to All the Prayer Warriors:

I made it through my 3rd round of chemotherapy and was in the hospital 5 1/2 days. Overall I responded well to the treatment. I did experience some weakness and a little nausea but
it was minimal and I am so thankful to be home again.

Until my next round of chemo I will continue to have weekly doctor visits. Pray for my counts and moreover for my complete healing. We serve an Awesome God and all things are possible with Him.

The Lord has been so faithful to carry me through this time and all of your prayers and support
mean more to me than you can imagine.

I will keep you posted of my progress.

In His Grip and care, Sharon

Mom was released from the hospital Thursday morning. When she arrived home to an empty house it was especially difficult for her. Please pray for her emotional health and strength during a time of 'new normals'.

Mom's time in the hospital is going as well as can be expected. Its never fun to be living in tiny quarters but she makes the best of it with daily walks, visitors and conversations with the nursing staff.

The chemo treatments are going well. Her counts are good (3.4 white blood cell) however she is experiencing achy muscles, low energy levels and some nausea.

Today she had a special visit from our dear friends, Jim and Leta VanMeter. This was an unexpected blessing as they traveled through AZ on their way back to CO.

God is good. Thank you for your prayers.

Hi to All the Prayer Warriors:

God is GOOD and I received a good report the 9th of February. My white cell count is at 2700. Blood Platelets 102,000 (which is fantastic) and my Hemoglobin is 12.0.

Dr. Verdi says that he is encouraged with my report. Now that I am stronger I will be going in to the hospital on Saturday, Feb. 14th for my 3rd round of chemotherapy.

As I am in the hospital I would appreciate your prayers that it will go smoothly. Pray that the Lord will protect me from any infections and that I would not have any side effects of the chemotherapy.

"I bless the Lord who gives me counsel, in the night also my heart instructs me. I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoiced; my body also rests secure" Psalm 16:7-9

God Bless you for your faithfulness!
In His Grip,

Love, Sharon
