On Tuesday October 11, 2011 Leanne (Chin) was diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog will follow her journey. It will share the peaks and valleys along the way. But it will also serve as a way to communicate prayer requests and praises. Join us as we partner with Chin and fight along side her for she "...can do all things through Christ who strengthens her." Phil. 4:13

The meaning behind Chin ... There is a Chinese restaurant in the Twin Cities named Leann Chin. While Leanne was attending a basketball camp in middle school, a fellow camper had a bag from the restaurant. This camper made the connection between the name of the restaurant and Leanne's name. And the nickname Chin stuck!

Round 2: #3 and Home!

Leanne has had quite a busy week! After a too long 3 day stay in the hospital for an infection in her stomach, Leanne was discharged from the hospital after completing her 3rd round of post pregnancy chemo. And I was the lucky chemo buddy!!
Yes, I am aware this pic is blurry. But we were in a hurry to pack up to head home when we remembered to take a picture.

Leanne is feeling much better! As she put it, she feels a million times better than she did on Monday. She also decided that she was going to stay home for a while and not risk getting sick and ending up in the hospital again! Leanne was sent home on an antibiotic which will continue to treat her stomach infection and a self given shot (boo) to boost her white blood cell count after chemo. She will have a week off from chemo next Thursday (!!!!!!!!!!!!!), but will go in for a check of her blood counts.

Thank you so much for your prayers! Praise the Lord she is home and feeling better. Please keep praying for her:
  • Pray for continued healing for Leanne
  • Pray for continued health and good growth for Leo
  • Pray for Leanne to rely on God's truth and not be tempted to have a spirit of fear
Thanks for all of your support, love, and encouragement! Leanne loves all of your comments on the blog and on Facebook!
