Prayers for the platelets

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
1 Peter 5:7

Today we went to Dr. Hsu's office for my blood work. The plan is for me to be admitted for round 6 on Monday, but that means all my counts need to recover. My hemoglobin is staying high (well, high for me) and my white count is great, but those platelets... on Wednesday they were 23 so I was hopeful for a big jump today. My platelets were only 33... it is good that they are going up, but I need them to be over 80 for my bone marrow aspiration and admission for chemo on Monday. Please pray with us that my counts recover so I don't have to wait to start my next round. I have also been having those horrible body aches again... they have gotten a little better, but would appreciate your prayers for those to go away.

  1. Hymn:

    We praise thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator,
    In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
    We lay it before thee, We kneel and adore thee, We bless thy holy Name, glad praises we bring.

    We worship thee, God of our fathers, we bless thee; Through trouble and tempest our guide thou hast been; When perils o'er-take us, escape thou wilt make us, And with thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.

    With voices united our praises we offer, To thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise; Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us; To thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise. Amen

    We pray for continued healing, Katrina. God bless you.

    I am so thankful that we have a great physician. We are praying for an increase in platelets and a decrease in body aches.

    We love you!!

    Phoenix and Ian leave for London on Thursday!
