Plan C

Sadly, Elizabeth missed chemo counts again. Her platelets are too low. We are hoping and praying that they come up by Thursday so that she can do chemo Friday-Tuesday and not have to be in the hospital on Christmas. Of course this means further delays in starting radiation. Plan A was start radiation Dec 21, plan B was Dec 28, and now I am not even going to try to anticipate what plan C looks like. Maybe early or mid January? Time will tell. One day at a time. All my trust in God that this is somehow for the best.

I was listening to conference talks today and someone quoted this from President Kimball 

"The Lord does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs." You are meeting our needs over and over again and I  was brought to tears once more this afternoon from the incomprehensible generosity of those around me. The Lord is meeting our needs through you. Thank you!! You're all an example to me! I love this little wood carving that was given to Elizabeth and we keep it in our kitchen.

It reminds me not only of praying hands, but also makes me think of the many hands that uplift, carry, and give to us. Elizabeth had a great week and enjoyed more time visiting with friends and neighbors than she has since she was diagnosed. It's been wonderful and I am so grateful for days and weeks like this. Even though I am eager to move through her chemo treatment schedule,  I'm thankful for time I get to be in our home and feeling the Christmas spirit.
