Sometimes when I'm home looking through four inch thick inventory reports, the kids will ask, "Daddy, what are you doing?" I'm reading these reports I reply. "But it's all numbers Daddy?" I simply say, "if you look hard enough, the numbers tell a story." They look at me funny and go off to play. Business is a strange thing sometimes, almost like detective work. Why did this thing work, and this one next to it didn't? OK, I'll bring it back around for you. Sheri's blood numbers have been stellar throughout her therapy the past year plus. "So?" you may ask. Typically you see a drop in certain blood marker counts during chemo and such, but not with Sheri. The Doctor seems very pleased with her numbers this week. I asked "is that normal for her numbers to look so good?" "No, but since when is Sheri normal!" she said with a big smile. Touche. Her blood numbers are telling us a story, her immune system is fighting hard and doing quite well. This is good. I thought I would share this with you all, it's not as glamorous as a clear scan, but it tells a great story, hopefully one with a happy ending. Looking up.

Thanks for sharing Brett! Sheri is the most positive person I have ever met...genuinely! Maybe there is something to the numbers and her attitude...what do you think?
praying for you guys...always!
p.s. I love your writing style Brett!
Those numbers tell me that prayers are being answered. I will keep praying for happy chapters in your story.
