Lisa Update - Chemo this week!!!

Sweet Lisa starts her big week of chemo tomorrow. She will have five days of treatment and each day she'll get three different chemo drugs. Oh man, this will probably be a very, very tough week. Like i've said before, her body has a tough time handling even the smallest of colds and this intense chemo just wipes her out. Please pray for her body to be strong, for her spirits to be high, that she wouldn't be in too much pain or discomfort and would be able to get around the house or the hospital ok, for her husband, Donny, to be available, for the doctors and nurses to be wise and wonderful to her, for her house to be comfortable and a quiet place of rest, for the chemo to work!!! (that it would knock out all the MS cells before they put the "clean" stem cells back in), and most of all for God to be glorified.

And next Monday (June 10th) is when she'll get the transplant and it will begin the very critical time. We're all a little anxious, but trusting Jesus who has created her perfectly and knows the plan for her life.

We've LOVED being able to facetime with her more lately since she's at home and she sure seems smiley and joyful! She's been able to rest at home the past few weeks and I think it's been a good little break before the next big round starts tomorrow. We feel so blessed in Iowa (and all around the world really) to have so many people praying for her and for the procedure to go well. Thank you. I know God hears and Lisa feels all those prayers. Please stay diligent to pray. Reese has be so precious just randomly during the day to say, "mommy we need to pray for Honey." Love her caring little heart. We sure love our Honey more than words! Stay strong this week, Lisa! We love you!!

I have this verse on the chalkboard in our house this week:

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer" Rom 12:12
