Think Pink

As you probably know, October is breast cancer awareness month. It is a simple calendar event to many, and a reason for pink everything in the retail world, but now, it's a face. It's our daughter, wife, mom, sister, aunt, best friend, co-worker, loved one. It's a reminder to pray. It's a reminder to be thankful. It's a reminder that behind every pink ribbon, pink t-shirt, pair of pink socks, pink head band, pink hat, pink phone case, or pink whatever is a person whose life was interrupted; whose life story now and forever involves pink. 

I want to challenge you this month to THINK PINK. Choose a day or two this month to proudly show off your pink (or your orange Wendy-Woo gear), and if you feel so led, share a pic with Wendy by text, on Facebook or comment on the blog. Remind her why her battle is worth it to you! Why SHE is worth it! 

Wendy was able to receive chemo yesterday, and is doing well overall. Both her white and red blood counts were lower again, and she is receiving a booster shot for her WBC today and tomorrow. We are praying over the RBC, hoping still that she will not need another transfusion. Her labs will be rechecked before her chemo appointment next week. The muscle soreness has let up a little, and the physician reports that it should lessen with each consecutive treatment, so here is hoping for LESS soreness this weekend!!!

Please continue to pray for: 

• Wendy's blood counts to rebound (WBC and RBC). 
• Wendy's side effect of muscle pain and soreness to GO AWAY or be tolerable/significantly less!! 
• NO ADDITIONAL SIDE EFFECTS of chemo, including fatigue or loss of appetite! 
• Peace over Wendy's heart - it is hard for this busy wife, mama, realtor, friend and ministry leader to be idle!! I don't think any of us can fully understand the extent of this loss, so please pray for her heart!
• The Helton family as they lock arms and care for one another during this battle! 

Blessings to you all. It is a privilege to walk alongside Wendy on this journey, and get to know all of you who love her as well! Thanks for your ongoing prayers and support. They are worth millions! Don't forget to THINK PINK and send your pics to Wendy via Facebook, text, or the blog!
