Christi's journey still continues, although not without bumps in the road. As of this date, her leukemia blasts make up 85% of her white blood count, and continuing to increase. Yesterday, the doctors increased her medications for pain and anxiety so that her pain is under control. She is now sleeping most of the time.
Marcie and Marianna stayed with her the last two days and nights, and have now gone back home. Someone stays with Christi around the clock. We are so grateful for a strong supportive family.
Julia spent several days with Marianna in Oklahoma City, and just returned Monday with a new 11 week old puppy, a Bischon Frise, for the family. He is so cute, and will give them lots of pleasure in the future.
Please be in prayer that God's will be done over the next several days or weeks, and that Christi's suffering can be ended. Her faith has been strong throughout this whole ordeal, and she is comfortable with whatever God has in store for her.
Thank you all for your support.
Layton

My love & prayers are with you Christi as well as your family and friends. You were always such a cutie as Marianna's little sister and we never knew what you were going to do. You were almost fearless. You were a cute little girl and now you are a beautiful strong woman with beautiful children and a loving husband. I pray for God's love and comfort to surround you and all those that you love as I continue to pray for God's wisdom to be provided to all of your caretakers. I'm sending you a long distance hug & kiss from California. May God's will be done in your life and may His blessings surround you. With love, Brynda Bryant Presnall

ReplyDeleteLayton, thank you so much for sharing this update. I've prayed for an end to her suffering, and am so glad to hear that her pain is under control. I've prayed for you and your wonderful family as well, that you can all be at peace with whatever the outcome to this epic battle might be. And being a stubborn former Texan, I continue to pray for the breakthrough that will keep her with you.

Christi is in our prayers - we ask for miraculous healing. Our God is gracious and can perform miracles. We pray that Christi's recovery is one of them. We also pray for the friends and family who have been so faithful and love Christi so much. We continue to believe in His magnificent healing.
