Chemo's done ... now we wait & pray

The final bag of chemo finish draining into Mitch mid-afternoon on Monday. Now, the waiting begins. As I've said before, we won't know for a while whether or not the leukemia cells were decimated allowing him to go into remission.

Mitch required blood transfusions today of both platelets and red blood cells. He is always more fatigued during the transfusions but, even now, is working out on the exercise equipment while the final bag of rbc's is transfused.

Thanks for your continued prayers. I was blessed to hear from Mitch & Chelsea's wedding photographer today that he's received almost 8,500 views of their wedding pictures. I find myself praying that everyone who takes the time to look at the photos is praying for Mitch's healing. (If you've not seen the album, you can view it at www.easternskyphotography.com. Choose the tab on the left - "Gallery" and select "Mitch and Chelsea Thomas." I know this is repeat info for many of you - please forgive this proud mama!)

God bless you for your faithful prayers & loving support. We are a very blessed family.

Dear Mitch and Family,
Just letting you know that our family is keeping you in prayer and our church as well, Roseville River of Life Fellowship.

God will make a way, He will give what we need for the day, and often at times, what we need for the moment.
Lori and Mike Koons
