I Say a Little Prayer for You...

The moment she wakes up,
She's gotta go for her check-up.
(I say a little prayer for you.)
She has no hair now.
She's wonderin' what hat to wear now.
(I say a little prayer for you.)

(Refrain)
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart.

And I will love you, 

Forever, forever. We never will part. 

Oh how I'll love you...

Together, together that's how it must be.

To live without you, 

Would only mean heartbreak for me.

She goes to the nurse here.
She's got a big needle, Oh dear!
(I say a little prayer for you.)
As straight as an arrow,
It drills down deep in her marrow.
(I say a little prayer for you.)

(Refrain)

And now at this juncture,
She'll go for her lumbar puncture.
(I say a little prayer for you.)
They'll send in the chemo.
The blast count will register zero.
(I say a little prayer for you.)

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart.

And I will love you, 

Forever, forever. We never will part. 

Oh how I'll love you...

Together, together that's how it must be.

To live without you, 

Would only mean heartbreak for me.

(Written by Jennifer, Matt and Lauren)


Prayerful Ponderings:
Jen did go for her bloodwork today. There are no cancerous cells in her blood, and we are prayerful that this is mirroring what is going on in her marrow - i.e., that her cancer will no longer be detectable in her bone marrow. She will go in early tomorrow morning for the biopsy and lumbar puncture. Things are still going well here at home, and, after some nausea this weekend, her appetite is back with a vengeance! Please pray that Jen tolerates the procedure well, that there will be no adverse side effects, and that God will guide the proceduralists tomorrow. Pray she will be found to be in remission and that she will be able to begin consolidation as early as next Monday. Also, pray that she will continue to be infection-free! (And, as you can tell from the parody above, keeping her sense of humor and laughter are proving to be wonderful medicine!)

The Vandy Verse:
I praise the Lord because He advises me. Even at night, I feel His leading. I keep the Lord before me always. Because He is close by my side, I will not be hurt. So I rejoice and am glad. Even my body has hope... You will teach me how to live a holy life. Being with You will fill me with joy; at your right hand I will find pleasure forever. Psalm 16:7-11
