Just a quick note: Laura got her blood tested today in advance of her second chemotherapy treatment next week. Her white blood cell count was very low, which is a common effect. This means she’s more susceptible to infections because her immune system is compromised. She now needs to closely monitor her temperature and avoid contact with people who are sick. (If white blood cells become too low or she gets an infection, then there are treatments to deal with it.)
Low white cell count

Laura and David,
We will be very specific in our prayers for Laura to not catch any colds, flus, etc. and for the upcoming chemo. We continue to ask God to bless you with a miracle. You are never far from our thoughts, Laura. Love, Kay and Ed and family
