Need your special prayers!

I need your special prayers right now!. The platelet transfusions I've been having aren't doing me any good. I have to have a special HLA match now, which there is a shortage of & takes longer to get. It took three days. I had the transfusion last Friday, so I hope it lasts awhile. My platelets were 2, normal being 140-375.

But, if I have any bleeding, that could be a problem! So far, my blood transfusions seem to be lasting. I see my Dr. next Tuesday.

The good thing is, I still continue to feel good, & have no pain!! So, I feel blessed in that sense! I just have to keep the faith & know that God is always with me!

His words make me strong:

"I will never leave thee nor forsake thee" Hebrews 13:5

I would like to continue to thank each & every one of you for your support, prayers, cards, e-mails, etc. It means the world to me! Thanks so much!


Love in Christ,

Shirley

Dear Shirley,
This must be an incredibly hard time right now waiting for the special HLA match. I will pray for this to come soon! "God is with you always" is a powerful reminder to me to trust like you in all things.
With love and prayers,
Lynne
