Lindsey Update - 10.10.07
This is one of Desiree Bennetts students:
I have some wonderful news to share....
Lindsey is FINISHED with chemotherapy! Our LR specialty nurse, Ruth, called today after reviewing Lindsey's blood work to notify us that the final two weeks of Lindsey's chemo have been canceled! Her blood counts look great....but, her liver functions are still elevated...they are down from last week, but still out of range. So, our doctor said that the risks associated with giving Lindsey the final two weeks of chemo far out weigh the benefits....and we totally agree. Ruth called when I happened to be in the truck with Todd....and I was just thankful Todd was driving because I just lost it! I couldn't help it...I just started crying! Crying because I was so happy for Lindsey, so relieved that her liver would not have to endure another round of chemotherapy and so amazed that Lindsey's second treatment plan for Leukemia is behind her...just very, very thankful!
So, this evening...we had a wonderful little "chemo" dumping party! The boys each threw a handful of chemo pills down the sink and then Lindsey dumped the rest of that bottle and then two other bottles down....smiling all the way! It was a good, good thing! As soon as that was over....Lindsey said..."Sooooooo, can I go to school tomorrow?" :-) Oh...this girl!! We had to explain that she would eventually go back to school, but that it might take a few months for us to see her immune system build back up. Of course, she didn't like that answer and there were a few tears, but she understands and will wait it out!
Lindsey will have a spinal tap and a bone marrow aspiration for her final end of therapy evaluation at Children's on October 25th at 9am. She will be fully sedated and won't know a thing...I am going to ask for full sedation for Todd and I, too, but I'm not sure they will go for it! JUST KIDDING! :-)
It takes a few hours, (which can feel like days), to get the test results back from the spinal fluid and bone marrow, so that makes for a long day sometimes. Thankfully, we have been blessed with many perfect reports on procedure days...but, as you know...we also have the painful memory of two very bad reports on procedure days (Lindsey original diagnosis and her relapse diagnosis)....so, that makes for a bit of a stressful day. So, please be in prayer for Lindsey's comfort on this day and PERFECT results from all the tests, for complete healing, for safe travels and low heart rates for Todd and me! :-)
We are planning on moving out of our apartment during that same visit to LR...the apartment has been a true blessing that has allowed our family to actually be a "family" during the last couple of years. Many of you helped with our apartment in one way or another, and we so appreciate all of your help.
Again...much love to you and many thanks for all you do.
Love, Lisa and family

Prayer Requests - 10.7.07
Tylers: Carey is 34 weeks pregnant, and has started having contractions. She is dilated to 1 cm, and is on bed rest. Please pray for the Tylers as they are going through the last few weeks of this pregnancy.
Bennetts: At the risk of sounding like her 2nd graders' prayer requests, their cat, Isabel, is having surgery on Thursday. There's a 30% chance it will work. They would rather not spend more for a specialist, so pray that it works.
Middletons: Please continue to pray for their rental property. They are still needing to find a good family to rent it. Praise for God's provision of a part-time job opportunity for Melissa to provide enough to cover rental payment.
Flynts: We will be traveling this weekend to see some friends in NC. Pray for our safety and for Carter, as he is staying the weekend with some of our family.

Prospects Needed
We need more prospects! If you have a friend, co-worker, relative, or whatever and you think they could be a prospect for our class, we need to know about it. Get a little information about the couple to Misty Flynt, or Karen Couch and someone will make contact.
Keep your eyes open and look at everyone as a prospect.
