Mindy holding strong


Mindy is on her 4th day of chemotherapy and is still holding strong. Her blood counts are dropping, as is to be expected with this treatment, but because of this, the doctors are no longer allowing any visitors with the exception of Dan and the boys. She is being kept in an extremely sterile environment to avoid any further infection while her immune system is compromised. Though Mindy is still being kept heavily sedated to keep her body calm and relaxed, the doctors are beginning to reduce the sedation more and more so that Mindy can interact with her family.


Valley Springs Church was filled last night as lots of Mindy's friends gathered for a prayer service in honor of her. Pastor David read scripture and prayed for Mindy's continued strength, her family's comfort, and guidance for her team of physicians. Thanks to Mark DeBruin for arranging the service and to Pastor David and his staff for all their help.
