Bring on Cycle 3!

After four sweet nights in her own bed, surrounded by siblings, friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and our nightly family dinners around the table, “the good ol’ days”, EvanMarie is feeling pretty great! Her fever lasted only about 48 hours and all blood and urine tests came back negative for anything harmful or life-threatening. The cause remains inconclusive, but we are simply grateful. Glory to God in all things, it didn’t slow down her treatment plan.

Today, she will nervously head back to the hospital for cycle three of chemotherapy, which will keep us there for 3 nights. We’ve decided to make her room into a jungle paradise, inspired by one of her favorite books, Giraffes Can’t Dance. It will have insects, birds, a lion, and yes — an EvanMarie-sized giraffe to dance with! 

Friends, please pray for her comfort and peace during this phase of treatment, which we’ve been told can be especially tough with nausea and fatigue. Pray also for our family’s strength, unity, and surrender as we truck along this rough road.

​Blessed Stanley Rother, you who faithfully loved and advocated for your people in very difficult circumstances, advocate for us now in ours. Padre Apla's, pray for us.
