Thank you for your information and for your courage.
Thank you for the marriage of your condition to Nature
and to LIFE around you. I listened to ABIDE WITH ME.
Thank you for that too.
I came upon your Life while searching for the names of people who had MDS. You taught me a lot and helped me understand my brother’s condition. Even the latest secrets were not able to help him, but he survived 4 angioplasties before MDS hit, and so I think of him as having been saved 4 times! One of the side effects of Plavix, so helpful after angioplasties, is bleeding, and, in his case, MDS.
I valued so much of what you said about fighting, and I send with this letter thoughts of strength and of continuance.
Thank you for being our teacher.
Yours,
Katie

What good news about the blood counts! We will pray for you and the decisions that will need to be made in a few weeks. God is so good that He’s not going to let you walk this way alone now! His miraculous love has brought you to this place and blessed each of us with your words of hope, joy, and constant faith in our Heavenly Father. Thank you for that gift (even though you may not know the effect it has on each of our lives!)

Each day is a gift.A co-worker replies every time to the question, “How are you?” with “blessed and highly favored, in the name of Jesus!” To answer otherwise would be a denial of God’s goodness to us, all the time! So we rejoice with you….we pray for you…and continue to be encouraged by you. Thank you, Connie.

Love, Irne
