Sorry for the delay in
updating you. Erin Hope will have another CT scan on Tuesday August 5th.
We had originally decided to do another type of treatment for Erin Hope
but decided, along with her wishes, to wait until another scan was done.
We are concentrating a lot of our energy into building up her immune system to
help fight off this cancer. Everytime she has chemo it knocks her immune
system down to where it progressively takes longer for her to recover
from them. A lot of the literature we have read states that a
healthy immune system is key to beating cancer. She has been taking
some special nutritional products all along and continues to take them.
In addition, she has started other products to augment the current ones.
Erin Hope is looking and
feeling very well. She has enjoyed her summer tremendously with swimming
almost every day and has gotten a good tan. However, summer vacation is
coming to an end soon and she will have to start school again. One of
the chemo drugs that she has been taking is causing progressive hearing loss
to the point that she made need hearing aides. Our plan is for her to
not have anymore of this drug if at all possible.
Erin Hope's dad has
started his new job at Baptist Hospital and loves it!
Please continue to pray
for Erin Hope and the rest of the family. We thank God for you who are
faithful to pray for her needs. We love you! We were disappointed
in the last CT scan results and are praying for good news that the cancer is
gone or in retreat with this next scan. We know and are convinced that
God is able to heal her. Please agree with us and ask our Heavenly
Father to have mercy on her.
God is good...AlLL the
time!!!
Stand Strong!!!
