Indeed Not A Hair Can Fall From My Head

I am happy to report that Mom is doing so well! The nurses keep commenting how proud they are of her and her progress. Her counts continue to sit at 0 and we are still waiting for the day they begin to rise. We are also happy she has had no fevers recently. She is dealing with a couple of painful mouth sores, which are a side effect of the chemo. Thankfully she is still eating well, and the nausea has stopped. She received her last dose of chemo today! Mom is so thankful that part is over.
This past weekend her hair began to fall out as a result of the chemo. Since all her hair would fall out on its own over time and become very uncomfortable she decided to shave it off. Krista cut her hair for her during her last chemo treatments 12 Years ago, so Mom requested she help shave it again. Sunday was the big hair cut day! They buzzed it right down to the scalp. Mom's head is really soft and fuzzy, and she looks super cute with no hair! I went to see her today and she allowed me to take a couple of pictures of her.

Please continue to hold her and Dad up in prayer. We are so thankful for the progress she has made so far, and we pray the Lord continues to bless her healing, and Lord willing she may return home soon. 

"He also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for my salvation." Lord's Day 1
