Delayed Intensification Phase – Week 6 of 8

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with thy oil; my cup runneth over.

Today is the sixth “Delayed Intensification” treatment session.

The daily infusions of chemo drugs is taking a serious toll.

All three of Ella’s blood numbers are way down and falling.

ANC is down significantly from last week.

Her Hemoglobin count is the lowest it has been since May.

And her platelet count is also way down.

Despite her pain and discomfort, Ella contiues to be upbeat.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death: I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Today was the fifth “Delayed Intensification” treatment session.

After last week’s delay…

Ella’s ANC number rose to 2832 – the third highest in five months.

Ella’s treatment session today lasted more than 8 hours.

It included a Lumbar Puncture (LP) aka Spinal Tap, and numerous drug infusions.

As usual, Ella was the bravest person in the room.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Today was scheduled to be the fifth “Delayed Intensification” treatment session.

Unfortunately, Ella’s ANC number (209) is too low to proceed.

This is the first delay in Ella’s treatment.

We will try again next Monday.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside still waters.

Today is the fourth”Delayed Intensification” treatment session.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

The Lord is my Shepard; I shall not want.

Today is the third “Delayed Intensification” treatment session.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.
