I have drawn my last X on April's calendar and we are moving onto May. Jerm had his "booster" shot this morning and is done for this week. His white count was down a little, which Cindy, the nurse, said is normal after the amount of treatments he has had. One of the numbers, and I am not sure what it is, is down to #1, they do not want it to go down any further than that because it means that Jeremy will be more susceptible to illness and infection, so we are praying that his numbers go up. He plans on going to work tomorrow.
Next week is his full week again. It's my prayer that he continues to do as well as he is and that his spirits stay high. You might want to say an extra little prayer on Thursday & Friday next week, because those are the days that I think are hardest for him, because he realizes what he is actually doing and he is physically and emotionally drained by then. A few bible words have come up this week that I think are worth repeating,(of course, I think all bible words are worth repeating), but these 2 came up a couple of times this week.
The first is from Romans8:28;"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." This is one of our favorite verses, and one I read several times a day. Jess had a plaque made for Jeremy with those words on it to plant next to a "victory" tree in his yard. She had the date his cancer was diagnosed so that when the tree is grown and in full bloom, it will remind of him of how far he has come.
Someone gave me a plaque this week with Psalm 100:5 on it "The Lord is good and His love endures forever." That is such an assurance of how good He is....thru everything good and bad, He is with us and that no matter what happens His love will never be taken from us.
Finally, I want to tell you that Jeremy loves reading the comments people leave. He will have access to a computer next week when he is at Siteman so he will be reading more often. To leave a comment, just click on comment at the bottom of the posting and then it will take you to a diffrent screen, then just follow the directions.
Have a great week.

And you know how much I love to comment on things! I feel it's been my life's calling at times. I do believe your maw has a foot up on me.
God has certainly answered our prayers very delibertly and careful this past few weeks. Hang in there Jeremy, can I saw without being trite,..just 6 more weeks to go. I know you'll fight through this just like you have any other obstacle that has gotten in your way, which brings me to a cheer, (ha, sounds corny), but it reminds me of football days at LHS,..."GO, FIGHT, WIN"..... love, JC
