"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." - Psalm 23

August 16, 2010

Sunday gave Austin a good break from giving blood after feeling like he gave a major donation on Saturday morning when he went for blood work requested before meeting with the blood specialist on Thursday. The tech that took his blood joked with him about having track marks ... that's a new one for him. :)

He bravely went through another treatment this morning. Today's blood work showed similar numbers to last Friday so at least those that are lagging didn't get farther behind. He will continue with treatment as planned three times this week and hopefully the Dr appointment on Thursday can further inform where to go from here.

Several prayer requests would be that Austin can continue to hang in there with his catheter...as time goes on, he is really bothered by it. Also that Austin would have a peace as he thinks about this health journey and college starting in two weeks. Thanks for your support and prayers.

  1. Austin, Keep your spirits up the best you can. Everyday I wake up and pray and then throughout the day I just stop and pray. People are lifting you up. Love, Aunt Phyllis
