This week has been both uneventful and eventful. Both a blessing and a challenge. Both beautiful and disgusting. And sometimes all at once.
- Katie has had some mild aggravating physical symptoms which have been hard to get control of this week. - She was able to spend an evening with some friends from school which provided some girl time, laughs, hugs and normalcy. - Homebound instruction is going smoothly, and she has been able to keep up with her classmates in the major subjects. - Some of the 'downs' of chemotherapy are starting to set in. Working through those is proving to be difficult. She struggles. I struggle. We all hurt as we try to figure out how to help her shoulder those burdens. - Blood counts are improved this week. White blood cells back to normal, red blood cells slowly recovering. This is great because we want to stay on schedule for the next cycle of chemo as well as enjoy the holiday week with family. - We were astounded by the number of Team Katie t-shirts ordered this week. Oh, how that blessed us! Please use #teamkatiecobb when you post your pics so she can see all the purple. Another order will be sent in 2 weeks through Roy Kuhl Sports. - We had dinner together as a complete family more than once this week, eating some of our favorite foods. That was awesome and much needed. I loved hearing Katie pray for the team serving in Haiti this week and express gratitude for those who have loved and supported us. Psalm 16:11 - You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy. Blessings, Sarah

The Granger family is praying for Katie, for strength and courage to endure, and for physical healing. We know how excruciating this journey can be. I'm also praying that your family will be able to enjoy Thanksgiving together, counting every blessing, small and large.
