Count Your Many Blessings

I am so grateful for all your prayers for Jackson last night and this morning. They certainly worked his ANC went up about 300 pts to over 900 today! He was able to receive his Chemo and we will finish up Round 4 on Sunday. I also found out that we get to return to our Wed. thru Sat. schedule after all--I am glad, I didn't want to miss a Sunday every four weeks. I need church to remind me to:
Count your many blessings, name them one by one.
Count your many blessings see what God has done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one.
Count your many blessings see what God has done.
How could someone living my life forget that? Yet I did forget that, I forgot to be grateful for the previous 12 Chemo treatments he had to this point. I am very grateful he had Doctors who were willing to let us try today instead of sending us home for a 5 day break; which is the protocol in this situation. I am grateful to my cousin Kyle and his friend who gave Jackson a priesthood blessing last night. And I am grateful that my dear family and friends continue to pray us into miracles.

Woohoo! Been thinking of you two all day and hoping you were still in Seattle because Jackson's counts went up. If you haven't yet, check your email...I sent pics of Zoe at the morning concert today. Safe travels this weekend.

I'm grateful for Kyle too. Just so you know, whenever we need "extra" prayers all the Miles' pitch in and they are always asking me how Jackson is doing. He is in so many people's thoughts and prayers. See ya'll in 8 1/2 days!

That is SO exciting! I'm glad his numbers jumped so high. That is an amazing miracle right there. Kyle's hometeaching companion told Kyle to let him know how Jackson does. So cute.

Hi There...my husband was clinically diagnosed in July with ND-CNS-LCH. Just wanted to say hello and let you know you'll have one more with your family on their prayer list. Blessings to you this day. Praise Him...Praise Him! Let me know if I can help in anyway. Even a venting of....LCH Stinks!
