Last Chemo Treatment!!

Monday morning I woke up with Kim Walker's "How He Loves Us" playing over and over in my head:


He is jealous for me. Love's like a hurricane, 
I am a tree bending beneath the weight of 
His wind and mercy 
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory 
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me. 

Oh, how He loves us so 
Oh, how He loves us 
How He loves us so. 
Yeah, He loves us 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, how He loves. 

I am excited, hoping that I will be able to begin my last chemo treatment today. We arrive at the doctor's office, have blood drawn and wait for the results. The nurse comes and tells us that my platelet count is 145!! Then she says, "But your white blood cell count is low, I'm going to go show it to the doctor." 


"Noooooooooo!!!" I think to myself. God, please don't let my white cells keep me from getting treatment today...


The nurse returns and gives me the "thumbs up" sign! Finally! I feel like sobbing, but stifle my tears, knowing if I start crying I'll never stop!




Tuesday morning, I wake up and wish I didn't have to get out of bed. I really think they 
should come to my house to give me today's infusion! I roll out of bed and the minute my feet 
hit the ground I am vomiting! This continues all day, every time I move, in spite of all the 
nausea medications I have taken. I guess I am going to finish with a bang!




Not a fun day, but TOMORROW I will receive the last of the drugs and RING THE BELL!! I am 
so thrilled that I will be finished with this part of my treatment! 




Thank you for your faithfulness to pray for me and for all the love and encouragement you 
have given to me. You have carried us through!! Please continue to pray this week as my 
body processes all the chemicals.
