Update from Elaine
They say sleep and rest are essential to the healing process. If that's the case Kate may be running a marathon tomorrow:) She literally slept all day but the sparkle is still missing from her eyes and smile. Kate's body has been through a lot. Kate's need for lots of rest will continue throughout this process.
Praise: Today Kate's WBC reached 12.7. With the great WBC count we can discontinue the nupogen (stimulates WBC production).
Praise: Since the one elevated temperature yesterday afternoon, Kate has not experience any other temperatures in fever range.
Kate did wake up late this afternoon and enjoyed a visit with her youth family group leader and our pastor. Our pastor delivered a DVD that Kate's friends has put together for her. She was so touched by the time and effort everyone put into making this most "entertaining" DVD. As Kate watched the DVD I noticed a little bit of sparkle creep back into her eyes. Kate is blessed to have friends who love her so much!
Requests:
~Please continue to pray that the muscositis heals and Kate can get off the pain medication.
~Please ask that Kate's appetite, strength and energy increase significantly.
~Our spirits are getting restless, we are past ready to go home. Please ask that God will give us the grace to wait and keep the discouragement at bay.
Holding on to grace,
Elaine

Hey Kate, and Elaine, not sure if the last message got posted, I thought you i have problems! HA! So will try again, asking for Dad to strengthen you today and that you will be able to go home on Monday. I was reading Ps. 86 today, has a lot of good stuff in it, may you be encouraged! Love and hugs, Lisa

Dearest Elaine,
I am thinking of you and Kate and Maggie so much today, asking the Father to give you strength in your bodies and rest in your hearts. I have read every word of your updates, and am praying for you each day! We still want to come up and see you! Know that we love you. Sandy Hammack

Dear Kate-
These words of the Song of Moses from Rev. 15:3 are for you. "Great and marvelous are your deeds!" May God show his great and marvelous deeds in your life! Believe in God's miracles! I have prayed for you.
With much love from a Russian heart, Katya Komarova (Sue K's friend from Russia.)

Kate, Maggie and Elaine, Hi! I am looking at the rock at Castle Rock and remembering that you hiked up to the top! It is cold up there now..brrr. This morning it's 8 degrees. The rock is so beautiful with snow covered shrubs and the lighted Star at the top. God is our Rock - Redeemer, Omnipresent, Compassionate and Kind!! Just like Him to love on us this way.
Love - Mrs. B
