Crushing Cancer: Another One Bites the Dust

Thanks for praying today, friends! Chemo treatment number 3 is in the bag! Wendy had a good day overall, and her treatment went well. This was an encouraging sight for all to see on Facebook earlier: her smiling face CRUSHING cancer! ("Crushing Cancer!!! Another chemo treatment down!!)

Her physician was encouraged by her progress and is quite impressed with her (she IS a rock star!). Her labs were (mostly) normal, and her lump appears to be shrinking, as well! Happy Dance for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy was able to relax at home tonight watching the Cardinal game and undoubtedly drinking her root beer! She was thoroughly missed at church (and she missed being there), but everyone was thankful for a praise-worthy day! 

Please continue to pray!

• For Wendy's red blood count. She is a little closer to anemic than preferred, but no treatment is required at this point! They will continue to monitor these levels and treat if necessary (but with our faith and prayers, those levels are going to climb, climb, climb!) 
• For maintenance of her white count, as well! As we head into fall germ season, this is critical as ever! We want her to stay HEALTHY! 
• For NO SIDE EFFECTS! Boldly pray for NO SICKNESS and NO FATIGUE!
• For the kids- they worry a bit about mama! Pray that they could go to school tomorrow without fear or anxiety and enjoy their day! 
• For Andy as he juggles his responsibilities and strives to be an awesome caregiver to Wendy.

Many thanks for the HUGE outpouring of support today- loved reading all of your encouragement on Facebook! You rock. I told her she was famous- she didn't believe me :) 

God is at work in this battle, friends. To Him be ALL the glory! 

"Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle." 

Psalms 24:7-8
