Wednesday Morning

Tomorrow morning my mom is scheduled for her regular appointment with Dr. Loren (her oncologist). We'll be taking an early morning trip to Penn Tower.

Last week Mommy had her bone marrow biopsy. Because her blood tests for the last few weeks showed that her numbers weren't really going up (and her platelets actually were decreasing) they wanted to do a bone marrow biopsy to check early if there's anything going on -- is there a re-appearance of leukemia cells.

Tomorrow morning we're expecting to hear the results of the test.

This past week her blood test showed an increase in her platelets. Praise God! We're hoping that's a good indicator that maybe her bone marrow is still just tired and taking a while to fully recover and produce all the good blood cells.

Please pray with us that the blood test she gets tomorrow AND the results of the bone marrow test taken last week confirm that she is still on the path of recovery and continues to be clean of leukemia.

Pray also pray that we continue to have the peace that comes from Him alone. That He would continue to be our Source and Strength.
