Amazed!-2/20

Hi All,

I have been meaning to write and just have not done it. I finally found a moment. Hope everyone is getting through cold and flu season without a problem! After my last chemo 3 weeks ago my white cell count dropped low. My infection fighting cell part of that was at a .6. Normal is above 1.2. The nurse after doing my blood count said to go home and wear a mask. Which I didn't do. But it would be wise...I just hate that thing. Just the day before that I had helped in Trinity's class with a Valentines project. I had to paint all the kids hands with red paint and stamp them. So I was touching each kids hands with really low infection fighting cells. Yikes! But God protected me in my unknowing at this point. Also the day before I got the count done Larry and Lexie were both home in bed with a sore throat and headache. Wow! I did not get it! Thank you Jesus!!

Last week I had my scan done to see where I was at with this new clinical drug called Pico Platin. I was not really sure what to expect. Just yesterday was my appointment with Dr. Rosen to see what the scan revealed. And good news...the tumors either stayed the same or shrunk a little and there was no new sign of anything new. So he saw no reason to take me off the study and I was treated yesterday for the 4th time. Keep the prayers coming! When these things disappear all together that will be remission!! That's the goal!

The family is doing great. Josh just turned 5, 4 days after Christmas and is riding a two wheeler now. Trinity will be turning 7 in just a week. Her broken arm is all healed up now! Lexie just finished Basketball and will be starting Baseball in a week. Her team, coached by her Dad and friend Eddie Ramos, came in 3rd place and they got a nice trophy to add the to schools collection! Larry continues to work hard on the new building project the Church has going.

We all love you very much!!


Blessings, Peggy
