At church today, we all got a copy of Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Proclamation of a Day of Thanksgiving.  It was interesting to see how clearly he stated that God was the reason our country has been blessed.  It made me wish our current president would recognize the same thing.   Ok, off the soap box. . .

I go to my doctor Wednesday for a check up.  Lord willing, all will be well.  We've invited 8 guests over for Thanksgiving dinner, and it would be sad to cancel.  I am feeling really upbeat and more energetic today. 

I'm finishing the paperwork for a civil service job I've been offered at my current job.  It's a lot of information, but worth the effort to do.

Those of you who read this blog are aware of what I'm thankful for this year, and my prayer for you all is that the Lord will richly bless you today and ever day.

Hurrah.  I have a fully functioning immune system again.  I got my blood drawn Monday, and was released to go back to work on Tuesday.  At that time my count was 4500 with 45% neutrophils.  On Tues, I restarted one of my medicines, and got another blood test on Thursday.  That blood count was 7500 with 70% neutrophils. 

I am so grateful to those who prayed for me.  I know this was a direct answer to prayer.  How else could I go from 900 with 0% to 7500 with 70% neutrophils in a week?  People may say that the prednisone was the cause.  I believe it was the tool God used to heal me. 

So, I'm not unique, I'm just like everybody else.  I'm praying I'll stay that way!
