Cautious Optimism...

I don’t know if it is a significant improvement from last week, but it isn’t any worse. Since your hematocrit is minimally elevated, I’m a bit encouraged.

- doctor, on reading Elizabeth's blood tests.

Thanks so much for your continued prayer for Elizabeth as she continues to live with extremely low blood counts. While we have not discovered the cause of the problem, this week's tests are a slight improvement over last week.

Again, please don't give up in praying, her counts are ~60% of normal red cells and about 30% of the normal white cells. We are seeking the Lord for wisdom right now as many plans are on hold until this situation is dealt with.

PS. Can you help us? We have noticed a little drop off in our readership of our updates. We are concerned that this might be because of our emails being mistaken for spam (or, horror of horrors, we just aren't that interesting.) If you happen to bump into someone who you think is (or should be) praying for us, could you just ask them if they have been receiving updates regularly? We'd really love to have as many prayer partners as possible. Also, if you have suggestions for us that would help us make our weekly update one of the must-reads in your inbox, would you please drop us a note to let us know? Thanks.
