Day + 27

What a difference a day makes!  And a ton of prayers!  God definitely heard them and we reaped the benefits today.  Praise Him!  Although we had a rough night and early morning, Elena's doctors worked hard to figure out better ways to treat her nausea and aches and pains so she was able to enjoy a much better afternoon and evening.  She was so amazed by how good she felt this evening that she said she couldn't believe it and wished she always felt that good!  It was so nice to see that big smile and hear the joy in her voice!  God is so good!

Elena's counts have also given us reason to smile and praise the Lord!  Her white cells and ANC increased again today.  We are encouraged by this steady increase and pray that this trend continues.  We also pray for better days ahead with more good times than bad.  Our wish for her is what she already said; that she always feels that good!

In Him,
The Tates

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"

  7. You will always feel this good my wonderful Elena. Do you know why? Because you want to, and you are willing to do all the hard work to get what you want. Once you have beaten this awful advisary, you will know that anything in this life you want you will be able to achieve. Start thinking now of those things you want to accomplish, and don't be shy about thinking big, because you can do anything!
