Well Vanessa was not able to move up to the 6th floor today. Not because she wasnt physically able to but because logistically she wasn't. Unfortunately, all of the rooms on the 6th floor were full. She gets to sepnd another night in ICU. I have requested that they begin to work with her and get her up and walking some. She needs to start building her strength back up. She got fiesty with me when I told her, but I told her its for her own good - she needs to get tough with it.
I spoke to Dr. Lee tonight and she informed me that it was indeed pneumonia in her right lung. It appears that the antibiotics and antifungal meds are working. She will not be getting chemo next week. The next chemo has been delayed atleast 2 weeks. We were hoping we could avoid that, but we also know we need her to recover from this last incident and allow her blood counts to get wehre they need to be.
Please continue, as you all have been diligently, praying for Vanessa. We need her strength to come back, blood counts, neuropathy to go away and continued healing from the pneumonia. I also received an email from Tracy Herrin. She has requested that we add a friend's sister to our prayer list and I have pasted her email below.
"Please add Carolyn Graham to your Prayer Warrior List. She is the sister of a co worker of mine. They found out today, that her whole body is eaten up with cancer. Things do not look good. But we know how the power of prayer can work! Thank you so much! And Praise God for all that He does!"
It was AWESOME to see our old Sunday School teachers from Summer Grove Baptist Church in Shreveport. Steve and Debbie Wilson are unbelievable teachers, mentors, couple and love God more than anyone I could possibly know. If you have never been to one of their marriage seminars, I highly recommend you do so. Vanessa and I went to one of their marriage retreats before we got married and that seminar helped us lay a foundation for the marriage we had planned few months later. If you want to hear a different perspective on marriage, an eye and heart opening experience, sign up for one when they come to town. AMAZING!!
We love you all and God Bless. He is an Awesome healing God.
With God, We Will Beat This!!

Rob & Vanessa! We are praying daily for you; and each Sunday in our Bible Study class @ Summer Grove Bapt. Tonight my husband & I prayed for God's will in healing and releaving pain/numbness in hands. In choir we are also calling your names out and lifting you in prayer. Please know we will continue to pray without ceasing.
