Erin Hope went back to
Baptist Hospital this past Thursday for one of the chemo drugs that she takes
each Thursday. This drug causes a lot of jaw pain for her. She
came home on Thursday but before her blood results were released. We
received a phone call from Baptist Hospital that her white blood cells and
platelets (blood clotting) were very low and she would need a platelet
transfusion. I took her Friday for her platelets and she was running a
fever. They admitted her for observation and antibiotics. Her
fever came back down spontaneously after we made a couple of phone calls
No doubt there was some prayer warriors interceding on her behalf.
The doctor told us yesterday evening that she could come home and to
monitor her fever. This morning she does not have a fever. Praise
the Lord Jesus!
She does have some pain
but not very severe. They also had to remove a large amount of ear
wax from her left ear. This was very painful for her and it still hurts.
After they removed that, they discovered that she has an ear infection.
Thanks so much for
praying. I would like to wish Erin Hope's Mom a very happy birthday
yesterday (Friday). She won't allow me to say how old she is but she is
looking more beautiful with every passing day.
Please pray also for
our men and women in conflict in Iraq and for our country's president
and other leaders.
God bless you! We
love you so much!
