I had my head shaved tonight, so I'm bald once more. I don't mind very much, and would rather get it out of the way than deal with the days of shedding.
In the meatime, things are about the same. Still battling fevers off and on, mucocitis and my bilirubin count is a little high. They are starting me on a new drug for that. Please pray that the count returns to normal and we aren't seeing this trend as a result of liver damage.
Thanks for your prayers, as always.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, 'I believed, and so I spoke,' we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:5-18

Amy, I've spent the last two days reading your entire blog history and my heart breaks for your pain and suffering. I am praying for you and your family.
Bah...hair is overrated! Your life and health, however, mean so much to all of us who catch up with you on a regular basis.
So, in a backwards way, I'm glad you are bald again. It means you are still here! You go, girl!
You remain in my prayers. Hang in there. Thanks so much for updating.
God bless!
Just wanted to say you're in my thoughts & prayers.
I miss you!

Just want you to know that I've been praying for you and that, although I pray during my quiet times and when the Lord impresses throughout my day, it seems you alway come to mind, too, on Sunday when I am standing in the midst of the congregation praising and reflecting in song...It's hard to describe, but it's like we are all so focused on His majesty and power and He brings you to mind....and I pray.
...just want you to know what He's doing for you....
Still prayiing for you!!
