Katie and I are sitting in the Children's Cancer Center today. I just think a place like this should not even exist, but here we are. Her white blood cells are pretty low but have been deemed high enough for chemo to proceed today. The first med is already finished. Doxorubicin is red and looks like Kool-Aid as it makes its way through the IV tubing and into her body. We laugh about it because we have to. Along with all the other medications in her regimen, it makes her hair fall out and wreaks havoc on her blood cells, but it kills cancer. So we have a deep love/hate relationship with it.
This is the last anticipated round of chemo. We have a lot of gratitude for that. Final scans are scheduled for Feb 28 and March 7. We don't know exactly when and where the tunnel ends, but we think we see light ahead of us. Please, God, let that be daylight ahead of us. We are ready for the night to be over. I admit that some days as I write here, I am only trying to encourage myself, but I hope that maybe, in some way, you are encouraged as well. Faith is more than just believing that God is able or capable of doing something. Faith calls us to believe in the character of God including His goodness and generosity. Blessings, Sarah

I have to admit that whenever I see that you have posted an update, I hesitate to click and read. I don't know if good news or bad news is going to be sitting in front of me after I click on it. This pretty much sums up my personality when dealing with difficult situations in general. Out of sight out of mind. I don't even watch the news because I don't want to hear about all of the negative news out there. Today I clicked. I cried....and then I prayed. I think that I need to take the blinders off more often. Face the facts....and then pray about it. I want to help carry your burden. I can't do much, but I can pray for you and yours. 🙏🏼❤

Praying for Katie, and that her blood cells remain as intact as possible and that the chemo attacks her cancer cells. Prayers that every single cancer cell is destroyed forever! Praying and hoping with you that this is her last round of chemo!! The sorrow may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Prayers that you find the daylight soon!! We love you!
