2 "pokes" . . . but not for Eden! Kurt and I were advised to get flu shots, so today we toughened up and received our "pokes". If any of you know Kurt's philosophy on the flu shot, this was only done for Eden. Eden will often tell us "no pokes today" or "zero pokes" we were glad today it was us instead of her! We only wish that we could take all of her pokes.
Tomorrow we are back at the clinic and due to our good results last Friday we will only be there for labs and chemo via her port. No spinal or bone marrow! So much to be thankful for.
Kurt found himself making mashed potatoes for breakfast! Eden had discovered a new love for mashed potatoes after our dear friend Eva had made them for us earlier in the week. So her breakfast consisted of avocados and mashed potatoes. These are some sort of cravings.
As you pray:
-Please pray for Jenna, who is back in the hospital with a fever
-Pray that Eden continues to respond well to treatment with minimal side effects
-Praise God for all the blessing he has given us. We continue to see Gods grace and protection.
Thanks to all that have been supporting us in so many different ways!
Love you all

Thanks for blogging and sharing your story with us - I know God will use it to touch people's lives for the good of his kingdom. I miss you guys and wish we lived closer. Though we've never been able to be normal "let's-hang-out-on-a-Friday-night" friends, you are very special to us and we always look forward to our visits & now playdates! We pray for you and think of you often. Thanks for this beautiful account of God working in your lives - from cottage cheese to 3% & progress!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Kurt!! I've gotta tell you that I got my first flu shot when my Dad was having HIS treatments! We'll be praying for all of you tomorrow...we're so thankful for all of the good news that have come your way! The boys would love to come and visit, but I'm afraid that they'll think you're a short order cook and be ordering up a peanut butter pie in the middle of the night!! Much love to you all! ~~Heidi
ReplyDeleteWe will be thinking of you and praying for good test results for Eden on Friday. I love hearing of her new diet. The pizza and avocados sounds good to me, mashed potatoes too. Makes you wonder what will be on the menu tomorrow.:-) Just wanting you to know you are always close in our thoughts and in our prayers. Good luck Friday. Love to all Aunt Mary and Uncle Heinz
ReplyDeleteKurt, Selena, & Eden,
