Cathy for Carol
Carol wanted me to let you all know that she is doing well...she is regaining some strength though still living a good part of the day on the couch! Her blood counts are pretty good. She was able to attend church last Sunday (not today) and we were all thoroughly tickled pink to see her and Mark there!!
She had a PET scan this last week, but does not have the reading as yet. She will let you know as soon as she hears anything.
The next plan of action as of today is another straight shot of chemo to her liver on January 20. This requires an overnight stay at Stanford...in on Tuesday and out on Wednesday morning. If the day follows the same path as the last trip she is in the "out" patient wing all day into early evening and then is moved to the "24 hour" hospital rooms until Wednesday morning. There are three beds to each room...very crowded, noisy and hard to rest...and not much room for company! Last time Mary and I both managed to stay until 11:00 pm and Mary pretended she was invisible and somehow managed to stay in the room all night, but every other visitor was "shooed out" about 11:00 pm. Please pray that one of us will be allowed to stay with Carol through the night this next go-round as well.
Carol wants you all to know that she is existing on prayer...she is CARRIED by your prayers for her each day. Please be praying Zep 3:17 this week for her...that God would calm her heart with his love and delight her with HIS songs!
Please also be in prayer for Mark...for strength, stamina and continued good health as he cares for Carol.
Carol sends her love and wants you to know that her heart is gladdened by the care and love she receives from you all!

Keith just sang in a wedding
Captivate US! by Watermark (youtube
it.)
YOUR face is beautiful
And YOUR eyes are like the stars
YOUR *gentle hands have healing*
There inside the scars
YOUR loving arms they draw me near
And YOUR smile it brings me peace
Draw me closer oh my Lord
Draw me closer Lord to Thee
CAPTIVATE us Lord Jesus set our eyes on YOU
Devastate us with your presence falling down
And rushing river draw us NEARER
Holy fountain CONSUME us with YOU
CAPTIVATE us LORD JESUS with YOU.
You are an example to all of us, as
one who is CAPTIVATED by HIM.
In His Love, debbie greenaway
