Sarah's Cancer: Induction - Day 10

There wasn't much to report about Friday with Sarah.  We got her numbers from the labs yesterday.  Her Hemoglobin was down a little but the platelets were good and her ANC was '.2'.  We know that the ANC number will flux while she is still on the low end, but to see it go up is still good.  We just know that it will probably stay low for the time being.

I took Lilly out for lunch to Macaroni Grill, her favorite place.  We stopped by Orem cemetery on the way home.  This is where my Grandpa and Grandma Blackham (Gus and Lulie) are buried.  Grandma Blackham passed away due to leukemia, even though it was a different type.  As I pondered on them, I realized that Grandma Blackham was going to be taking a special interested in Sarah.  She was going to be watching over her as a guardian angel.  Not only does Sarah have leukemia like she did, but Sarah shares a birthday with Grandma Blackham.  I was grateful to feel the presence of Grandma Blackham and the support she is giving from beyond the grave.  It is wonderful to have a knowledge of eternal families, and knowing that life doesn't end at death.

We are very grateful for all the support and love that we have received.  We are grateful for all those who pray for us.  We feel it.
