Abby Update

Abby is getting chemo. They aren't sure what is causing the bleeding and they cannot scope her because her blood counts are too low. We suspect is it caused by internal sores that come from the chemo.

After her chemo, she'll come home this evening, and we'll keep an eye on her. It has been a stressful few days and we are overwhelmed by all the prayers and kind encouragement from everyone.

We will keep you updated. Do you have any questions about Abby? If yes, leave a comment, and we'll answer.

I've been praying too. It's so sad to see the little ones suffer so. I was praying for her nausea, so now I'll pray for peace and comfort, for Abby, and the rest of your family.
You are all so lucky to have each other...
With love,

Blessed Mom of 8 said...

Brent and Michelle, I hope our care package arrived today so her and Landis can have some fun together during all of this tough stuff she is enduring. The children can't wait to know she has it - please HUG her from all of them! SO that means 8 hugs and kisses - oh actually 10 because you have to count in Scott and me!

We love you all and continue to pray. We talked about Abby tonight and dinner - the children had lots of questions. Praise God for their senstive hearts and wanting to know God is taking such good care of her...even despite all the pain!

Love and blessings,
Jill
