18 December- While the trend has been good news and blessings, today we hit a small bump in the road. This morning Kel received a phone call from her specialist's office explaining that her White Blood Cell count was elevated. This has been one of the key signs to watch out for since trouble started. As you can imagine Kel's emotions began to whirl. As she asked questions it seemed the nurse was unfamiliar with the details of her case which frustrated Kel making the emotions worse. The nurse tried to explain that it was no big deal and they would just test again next week. This was obvious since Kel's been tested every week for the last five. Kel followed this up with more calls to the other doctor and spoke again to the office which had called. It turns out that her levels are up a bit from last week but not high enough for serious concern. The nurse was just making an informative phone call not realizing the panic it may cause. Well we all breathed a sigh of relief but it is still a big big prayer request that the cell count go back down or at least stop climbing ASAP. Thanks for the continued support.

Kelly Girl,
I know God will take care of this, just like he has everything else. He is wrapping His loving arms around your little family . . . you, Jeff and Baby Caroline. He is mighty, powerful and in control. Be still and know that He is God. You're doing great. I'm praying for peaceful rest for you my darling daughter. See you tomorrow for tacos. (I hope they don't give you heartburn) XOXOXOX

Hey Kelly - Scott and I will continue to pray for you. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

I'm sorry the nurse scared you like that Kel! I'm sure she didn't mean to but that is just not right - they should realize the anxiety it could cause. I can't wait to buy little Caroline Hope some of those Heelarious baby heels! She will be rockin those baby pumps! I'll have a hard time choosing from the leopard print pumps and the black and white polka-dot ones! Love you guys to pieces! Prayfully with you always!

Another hurdle jumped, another obstacle overcome. No big deal for God. You are doing some big things from that bed! Just remember: God is bigger than any doctor reports! Also remember our verse: Jeremiah 29:11. Love you all and will see you on Christmas Eve!
