Another Day

Lamentations 3:21-25
"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him. The Lord is good to those who wait for him."

Today starts another day. This day we start chemo. It will be another long day because in order to protect Sarah's body she has to be well hydrated. So, they will check her when we get there and won't start the injection until she is sufficiently hydrated. Once she is hydrated, the actual injection is only 1 hour, but they need to hydrate her afterwards as well for 4 HOURS!!

If you would once again pray that the side affects would be minimal. After the treatment on Friday she spent much of the evening throwing up. She was such a trooper. Also, would you pray for us as we are trying to give her three other medicines twice a day. They all taste pretty bad and she is putting up quite a fight. Can't say that I blame her. Thank you once again for praying for us.

We will be praying for you and Sarah throughout the day as she starts chemo. May the Lord protect her and keep her from severe reactions while the chemo does its job. We will pray continuously without stopping today...

May the Lord give you all the grace and strength you need this day, and may Sarah be encircled by the love and power of Christ, that only that which is beneficial to her may touch her and enter into her, and all that is harmful may be kept out.
Love and Deep Blessings,
The Mohrs

Hey Jen- we are praying for you. I can't begin to imagine how life is for you right now. We pray that Sarah does well today, that the fight she has in her gives her the strength to heal and that you and Dave continue to feel lifted up by the Lord. Will the pharmacy flavor the medicine for you? I know they can do that with some medicine...just a thought! We continue to keep you in our prayers, hearts and minds! With love- Georgia, Mason and Ellie

We are still praying for you! It's become part of our day. The kids always ask about Baby Sarah and they always include her in their prayers. God bless you and the whole family today!
