An Anchor in Glory

With the second chemo treatment four days behind her, Karen is beginning to feel better.  This bout was a little more difficult than the last, but it did not last as long.  Right now, our most pressing prayer request is for health for the rest of the family.  The stomach flu ravaged the house excluding Karen only by God's grace!  While the rest of us were sick, she spent the time in very comfortable quarantine in Rochester for three days through the generous hospitality of Aunt Susan and Uncle Steve, Craig's sister and brother-in-law.  Thank you Susan and Steve...and kitties!  Her white count was great on Monday when she went in for treatment!
We also had an appointment with one of the oncologists and he told us that the tumor has shrunk!
The encouragement in every form...the cards, gifts, meals, conversations, phone-calls, and the list goes on...are incredible gifts from God.  We simply don't know how we would be able to keep walking this road without them.  These expressions of love are precious to us.  We go back to the notes often to remind ourselves of the nearness of God through the relationships He blesses us with.
Under His Mercy,
The Lenz's
