8/9/2009 Pam could not have chemo last week because of a low white blood count. If necessary, she will have a shot to bolster the white count this week to help her resistance to infection when we travel to New England on August 14th.

Meanwhile, Pam continues to be active and energized in her activities. She has been working hard finishing some needlework projects, getting ready for our trip, singing with the choir. We have been to the movies and dined out several times. Today, Pam taught children's Sunday School and gave the children's sermon with enthusiasm and confidence.

We know these signs of progress in healing and Pam's ability to adapt to the effects of chemo are the results of your prayers and unfailing support. May God bless you all.
