Biding Time

First of all, another huge thank you to those who are praying on Carson's behalf. God continues to be so good to us during this time. It is amazing! How many prayers has just our family prayed in the last few days? We've asked for this, asked for that....and God has answered EVERY ONE of them with something positive. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" - the first line of one of the many hymns I learned as a child.

Carson remains a "best case scenario" today. He is a little tired (which for him means he only did 10 races down the hospital hallway instead of 15), but doing very well. The percentage of leukemia cells in his body continues to drop. Hallelujah!

So now, we are officially biding our time until our next big treatment and test day. That day is Monday. Carson will undergo another round of IV chemotherapy. He'll also have a spinal tap to test the spinal fluid for leukemia cells and a chemo treatment in that area. Finally, he'll have another bone marrow test. Here we go again: please pray that Carson will be in remission. This will keep him at "best case scenario" status - and, as you might imagine, we're all about remaining at that status right now!

Thanks again to everyone who has brought food, brought gifts or brought themselves to the hospital. Thanks to those who have bought groceries, walked and fed dogs and driven Francesca around town. We are so grateful to each of you.

Here's a few pictures from the past few days:

More visits from friends.....

Stay tuned for more! I think Paul will be attempting video some time today!
