Monday - Day Six

Another day of treatment down, another day of answered prayers. Debbie continues to feel well, she is not tired and she has a good appetite. Today she received around 40 letters and cards - how incredible! She is definitely feeling the prayers of the faithful that are being lifted up on her behalf! Also, a friend went to give blood on her behalf today at MS Blood Services, when she arrived she started to say that she wanted to give blood for Debbie Yates but before she could even get the last name out the worker said "Oh I know Debbie Yates"! There were already 15 names on the list of people that had given blood on Debbie's behalf! That is so great and encouraging! Thank you for wanting to help and for giving blood so that she can have the transfusions she needs.

Her counts were good today and had really not changed significantly from yesterday. She will probably receive both a blood and platelet transfusion tomorrow.

This week please pray that Debbie would continue to feel well, strong, encouraged and have a good appetite. We can only attribute these things to the Lord's grace in her life. He is wrapping his arms around her and comforting her during this time - thank you for praying with us. We are praising him for hearing our prayers and pouring out his blessings on us!

We found out that Landrum has the Roseola Virus... or had it I should say. All that is left now is a nasty rash that is all over her body. I feel so sorry for her even though the doctor said it does not really bother her. I just feel like it does and therefore feel sad for her. She apparently had the virus this past week, but we are so thankful that she did not have the normal high fevers with the virus. She will not be able to go up to the hospital to see her Mimi until Wednesday or Thursday.
