Update on Stephanie

UPDATE: Stephanie is home, laying next to me in bed this evening. She has no immune system left. Her white blood cell count this morning was 0.3 and the doctor said she would no longer benefit from chemo. His words, "I don't believe she will be with us much longer." Seeing her deteriorate from Thursday through today, I guess it was expected news so I took it well, all things considered.

We now have hospice care at home 24 hours a day with the goal of making her comfortable. My heart is broken and I am on my knees. My love of 20+ years has put up an amazing fight. Honestly more than I ever thought humanly possible.

Please pray for her comfort and for the strength for her family to carry on. I'm not sure what else to say. Thanks to everyone showering us with love. It does help!

I don't know Stephanie, but I am an old friend of Tara Copeland and I read her post needing prayers for Stephanie and her family. I read your blog and I just have to say, it really pulled at my heart. I am lifting Stephanie and family up in prayer right now. May God hold Stephanie close and compfort her and her family in this time.

While I've not met you or your family, you have been on my heart and in my prayers. I am a Lewisville grad ('85) and saw the link from Lewisville Reunion. Your story touches me. Keep running the race, and stay convinced of God's goodness and love for you.
