Hello Dear Ones,

Kelly's apt. went well today. His counts are looking great! The doctor said that he was very encouraged by this but he still does not know why Kelly is so fatigued. Tomorrow Kelly will start up chemo again. He will be getting spinal injection of chemo and the doctor has ordered an analysis of the spinal fluid to see if something shows up there that might explain his fatigue. One of the possibilities is that the Leukemia is in his nervous system. Kelly's type of Leukemia likes to hide in the nervous system. If it is there then we are out of remission and I'm not sure what??? The doctor did say that he didn't expect that because there would be other symptoms, like head aches, fever, blurred vision...

So...., We still think it might be Somnolence Syndrome but the doctors don't seem to be familiar with it. In any event, Somnolence Syndrome can't be treated, it just has to run it's course, (extreme fatigue for several weeks.}

Kelly has really been struggling with being so laid out. It is crunch time at work and things are mounting in all areas of his life. Very frustrating. We have talked about how God is in control and that NOTHING happens in vain, including this present trial. God knows Kelly's condition and his responsibilities and He dose not waste ANYTHING! God has a plan and will accomplish all that concerns us. Thank you Jesus for the assurance of your word. You will never give us more then we can handle.

We will know the results of the spinal test in a couple of days and will update you as we can.

Prayer requests-

Please pray for the internal work that God is doing to undo all false yolks (Is.58)

Please pray for Kelly's complete recovery

Please pray for our kids' hearts, they miss dad's presence.

Please pray that I would walk close to God and live and move and have my being in Him.

Sincerely, Gabriela
