Joy's white blood cell count fell from 18,000 to 1,400 in the last couple of days. This is REALLY good news. She finished one of her chemo medications today and will continue with another one for four more days.
Much to her delight, she also got to see her three oldest children today. They took a first class tour of Joy's hospital area, including a personal interview with Joy's doctors.
That is all for today.
We love you Joy!

Tjaba Joy,
Just received Margaret's email. Glad you got a better view than a brick wall, because really you deserve the best view they've got. Also, even more glad that you are responding positively to the treatments. John and I will keep you, Ken and your wee ones in our prayers.
Lots of love,
Steph
Dear Joy and Ken,
We have been discussing what we can do to help you and your family during family night tonight. First on our list was to let you know of our love for you. We think of you and pray for you and your family every day. We believe there is great power in prayer and in the priesthood. May the Lord bless you and comfort you all at this very difficult time. We Love You,
Kyle and Angie Simons and family
