4/12/2017 Blessed
Hello, My Dear Family & Friends
Just a quick note to say thank you for your incredible outpouring of love and encouragement and prayers. They mean a lot. They’ve done a lot. You all are awesome!
My Oncologist had me stop the chemo for a while (because I was so very sick). It took five days to get back to “normal” but I was able to have a wonderful (nauseous-free) Sabbath, Passover, NTBMO (ate so much food!!!) and 1st DUB. Priceless!!!
Also…wait for it…my tumor marker number dropped 150 points! After only a ½ dose (5 days) of the chemo! God is truly merciful and amazing!!! So thankful that He gave us brilliant brains to develop medicines and knowledge of and access to amazing food/substances to aid in our health.
Today I started the second half (5 days) of this round of chemo —at a lowered dose. Hoping I can spend most of my time OUT of bed and with my food staying INSIDE my stomach.
Thank you for all you are and all you do for me and my family. We are so blessed to be a part of your lives!

I'm actually sitting here crying because it's so wonderful to hear of this answered prayer!!!!! We specifically prayed that you would be able to enjoy the Sabbath, Passover, NTBMO, and 1st DUB without nausea and without having to stay in bed. What awesome news about your tumor marker number dropping. God is amazing, and so are you!!!! Praying that God will keep parting that Red Sea for you and that you will walk right through it and that we will all get to witness that miracle!!! Praying that you will be able to enjoy the rest of the week and have an inspirational, joyous last DUB!! Love you!!

Thank you for sharing such good news! We are so happy to know you were able to enjoy the beginning of the Spring Holy Days and pray for that to continue for you. Much love and hugs to you and your family, Sarah!
Can't begin to tell you how pleased I was to hear about your blessing. I'm sorry about the side-effects of the chemo but happy to hear about the dramatic reduction of your markers! Still praying for God's intervention and guidance. Much love to you and your family Sarah. TT
Uplifting news to hear. You're in our prayers daily. You have been a wonderful example for us all. Tom &a Debbie.
Hallelujah, praise God our Father! Wonderful to hear, Sarah! Thank you for the update!! Much love to you and your whole family!! :)
Dearest Sarah, We are so encouraged to hear the update! Continued fervent prayers go out for healing. Praying you are granted more time. You are so precious to us all. Our love to you, Scott and the girls. Polly & JR
Dear sweet Sarah, I'm so happy you had a wonderful Passover, NTBO and Holy day. God is good! He knew what your heart needed. Much love to you.
Two thumbs up! And a fist-bump! And a high-five! And jump-side-bump (with altitude and attitude)! And a double-hand handshake! And a huge bear-hug! And -- as we used to do at some of the summer camps when something great happened -- "SALUTE"!
My heart is happy. But that doesn't mean my prayers will stop! Love you.
Great news!!! Will keep praying.
Cousin Sarah, you continue to be a light in the dark. I am so stoked for your improvements, however small, for they really are major. I think of you daily and keep you and your family in my prayers. I, and everyone I know that knows you, loves you so much. Thanks for filling and growing our hearts with so much love, hope, FAITH, and loyalty to GOD. You rock <3
That is so encouraging to hear your numbers have come down. You are such a pillar of faith with all that you have been through. You are in our prayers each and every day. I will zero in and ask God to relieve you of all those bad side affects they can be nasty! We love you and your family. God bless you dear Sarah
