There was good news and bad news today. First of all, because Joshua's blood counts are not high enough, he is being delayed a week before starting the next round of chemo. The good news about that? This gives Joshua another week to heal and be stronger before we start again. He already looks better than he has in 3 or 4 days, giving us all alot of relief. The bad news about that? This puts us a week longer in Delayed Intensification and a week closer to my due date.
Delaying treatment is very normal during this schedule. In fact, most A.L.L. patients (Joshua's kind of leukemia) have already had to pause several times throughout their treatment. It is also possible that this is not our last break during these few weeks. We are thankful that Joshua will have another week to recover and get rid of some of these ugly hurts before being hit again.
My due date is May 4th. Seven weeks from Friday. We are excited about our sweet baby girl joining our family, but nervous about the timing of her arrival. I know that God is not surprised by leukemia and certainly not surprised by my pregnancy. I also know that Joshua will be an amazing big brother no matter when she comes. Please pray with us as we prepare for the coming weeks and months. Pray that we will allow God to orchestrate them, knowing He is caring for all of us along the way.

"God Will Make A Way" by
Don Moen
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side
with love and strength for each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way
I praise God for His mercy and love. His words of promise that He is always with us is reassuring. I appreciate your words of testimony to the plan that our loving Father has for you and your sweet baby girl. Stepping out in faith you testify that He cares for you and knows the journey that little Joshua has undertaken. God loves you and will be with you each step of the way. I pray for you each morning and our little prayer group prayed for you this afternoon, each one holding all of you in their hearts.
Kelleys,
Prayed for y'all today. And Jana, Brendt and I are thinking so much about you during this time. You all are a testament to the sufficiency of God's love and provision. You're in our prayers.
