Hi All,
Well it's the first full day of having a new President. Our prayers are with and will continue to be with President Obama. He has a tough job ahead of him. Anyways...
Hope you all are well! I went to Santa Monica yesterday to get my 3rd chemo or picoplatin, the clinical trial drug. But, my white cells were too low to treat. So they sent me home to do 3 days of Neupogen to boost them up. If they are up by next Monday I will be treated next Tues. I feel fine, I am just more prone to getting a cold or infection and I don't have enough infection fighting cells to fight it off. Hopefully the Neupogens will work quickly.
After the 3rd cycle of the drug I will have a scan to see if this drug is working. I am hopeful that it is. The lumps that I can feel do seem a bit smaller. I just so much look forward to having all this cancer stuff behind me. It's coming up on 3 years this Spring. But, it's in God's hands.
The financial toll has been an additional burden. We have always planned on me staying home with the kids and not working outside the home. But, one income and all the bills is so hard. I've been praying for the Lord to show us what to do. I still have Josh most of the time. He only goes to pre-school 2 days a week. I know He will provide. It's hard being the one that makes all the difficult bills come in and not bringing any money in. It's another area of trust that the Lord is dealing with me in. I want to work but have limitations. I know something will work out. It always does. Thanks for praying for this too. He has blessed us already in so many areas. I don't mean to sound ungrateful.
Lexie has been busy doing basketball with her school. Larry is one of the coaches. The games all fall on Sunday. So, being a Pastor he has to work that day. So he has our good friend Eddie Ramos coaching the games. It's been a lot of fun. Out of 6 games they have only lost 2. I am able to see much improvement in her game just from last year.
That is all to report for now. Let me know if there is anything at all that we can be praying for all of you. You all give so much to us! Your prayers are priceless!!
With Much Love, Peggy

Good morning to you my dear Peggy girl. It is always good to see an update. I will pray that the blood building Neupogen works so that you can have your treatment next week. It is such a pretty drive to Santa Monica, but it is a long one and hard on your vehicle. I’ll tell you what; I will trade you cars on the days you have to make that drive. I’ll talk to you about that at church Sunday.
I see a promising trend in this post of yours. I see the number three coming up a LOT. Treatment #3, 3 days of Neupogen, cycle 3 for a new scan, 3 years of being sick. This may just be the sign we have been praying for. Maybe this is the year we will see an end of it.
Don’t EVER feel you are complaining and no one here thinks you are sounding ungrateful. Telling us about your needs helps us who are praying for you. And helps you get your mind around what is going on.
As always I am praying for you continually and will continue to do so no matter what happens.
Love ya baby girl.

I was mad at your blog!! I posted a comment a couple of days ago and it didn't post!! Now I am over it though!
I hope this week goes well for you and that the shots helped your white cells go up. I hear that once I get transplanted that will be an issue I will deal with regularly. I pray that you are able to get treated on Tuesday with no side effects!!
I love you so much and am here for you whenever you need!
