Qualified - Day 113

Great Day.  Ellie went in for her labs this morning and put up her highest numbers in 2 months for White blood cells (2.3K), Platelets (460K), and the all important immune system Neutrophil count (ANC = 1460).  All of which qualifies her to move on to the next phase of treatment to begin on Friday.  Prayers for healing and recovery for this day have been answered.  We are humbled and thankful.

Tonight we danced in the proverbial rain....with a little goofy jig to the "Parenthood" (NBC drama) theme song by Bob Dylan (great show!).  Great to relax tonight and are fortunate enough to get another whole day before heading to the hospital on Friday to be admitted for the start of Interim Maintenance.  Suddenly Thursdays aren't so bad.  :)  Quite ironic that we're actually looking forward to going in-patient for a few days (relatively).  But that is still a day away and tomorrow it is time to just be.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries

and all knowledge,

and if I have a faith that can move mountains,

but have not love,

I am nothing

1st Corinthians 13:2

Love for Ellie indeed.
