Good Counts and Old Pics

I took Cash to Children's today for a chemo push and to find out if his counts have risen.  If his counts remained low, we would have to continue the antibiotics until they were above critical level.  Thankfully, his counts were great today, in fact his white blood cells and ANC's were way up!  So my nursing duties have been lessened for a while...We are hoping this next week is quiet and if his counts stay up we'll start the 3rd round of chemo next Saturday.

The help we've received over the past few weeks has been incredible.  Today, David A (Andre's Carpet Cleaning) came and cleaned our carpets and couch and they look amazing.  Many others have stopped by to clean the house, take care of Cash when Wendi and I are working, and much much more.  We would not be able to do this without the wonderful help we've received and we are very appreciative!

Wendi and I were digging through pictures of Cash (many courtesy thesnapsisters) from the early days and Randy forwarded me a pic from Crescent Bar - here are a few from when Cash was younger.  You'll notice many include big brother Jack either hugging or kissing Cash - they are so great together and we couldn't imagine our lives without either of these boys that God has blessed us with.


We feel tremendously blessed "...And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28).  Thank you for your continued prayers and support!

  1. Wow, those "snap sisters" take some great pics! Bro. Jack, Romans 8:28 is my signature scripture--such a great reminder of God's ability to take our ashes and turn them into beauty for His glory.
