"Day by Day"
Update from Emily:
I was hoping that Dad would feel well enough to post his own blog today. The effects of chemo, however, continue to keep Dad weak - giving him very little strength to read or write. We are excited that his numbers continue to go up (today's WBC count: 0.37), but we also continue to pray that they would multiply at a greater rate.
This morning, I read 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV)
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
My prayer for Dad today is that though he feels like he is wasting away outwardly due to chemotherapy, that God would do a work in his heart and body in these upcoming days - and he would truly feel renewed day by day.

We too will pray for that renewal for Bob. We continue to pray that those cells will mulitply much more rapidly and that the nausea will dissipate.
Thanks for sharing the scripture with us. Thanks for the update.
Love you all,

We'll keep praying for continual progress in those WBC to multiply at a greater rate.
As your dear Dad would so often say in Sunday School, "God is good all the time".
Praise Him from whom all blessings flow~~~
In Christ's love & prayers,
Ruthie & Dave
Take care all.
