Thankful, So Thankful for Good News!

I know my last post was a tough one, but that's where I was. I was in the midst of intense, unreasonable pain. These are the things I want to remember...the good, the bad, the ugly...because one day I want to look back on ALL the things that worked together to make my simple life glorify God.

Today, I am thankful for good news. The pain from the infection in my arm is less consuming today. The antibiotics are working. This is good. My lab results also came back today. My INR was a bit low, but that was expected after the infusion and other med changes. The amazing stat is my hemoglobin....it's up to a whopping 9.1! Oh yes, that's right ~ NINE point ONE baby!! Still pretty stinking low, but a beautiful number compared to 7. This increase means the infusion could be the answer!

This means today is a very, very good day.
