Update #5

When Megann first visited with her doctor at MD Anderson, she encouraged Megann to go on a trip now while she's feeling up to it (before treatments, etc). So, Megann's extended family sent her on a trip to Savannah! Megann went with her sister and cousin. They stayed at the Hamilton Turner Inn which use to be an early mayor of Savannah's house. It was the first house to receive electricity in Savannah. They also visited The Lady & Sons restaurant, which is owned by Paula Deen from The Food Channel. Megann loves Paula Deen! Megann's sister also arranged for Megann to receive a signed copy of one of Paula Deen's cookbooks! She is very blessed to have such wonderful family members that care for her so much. I know she is very grateful for the trip.

Megann received her second round of chemo yesterday (Friday). This time Megann should be feeling much more energetic because the doctors discovered that she was very anemic (.5 away from needing a transfusion!). This explains why she has been so lethargic lately. They gave her a shot, and today she feels better and has a lot more energy! Please continue to pray that God will completely heal Megann. She also starts back to work this Friday. Please pray for her stamina, immune system, and for this to be a non-stressful year for her!

Power Zone Prays for Megann

The Heritage Church of Christ Power Zone kids went on a trip to Houston, TX this past weekend. They participated in Road Map. This is an event that focuses on prayer. They gather together at several different places and pray. One place that the group met was MD Anderson. After praying with the group of Road Map participants, the Power Zone group got together said a special prayer for Megann and her doctors. God hears the prayers of a child! Power Zone is made up of 5th and 6th grade kids. http://hccpowerzone.blogspot.com/

Comments 101

Many of you have tried to write a comment to Megann and not been successful. So, Megann and I decided that a tutorial session was in order (she reads the comments faithfully and appreciates each one of them). Follow these steps, and you should be able to leave your comment.

• Just below the update, click on comments. You should go to a new window and be able to read all of her comments.
• On the right hand side, you should see a big white box. Write a comment in that box.
• Below the box are different identities. Here is a description of each identity:

1. Blogger--this is for people that have their own blogs. You do not have to have your own blog to leave a comment.
2. Other--You can use this if you don't have a blog and just enter your name and leave the website part blank. It will show the name you entered at the top of your comment.
3. Anonymous--You could also use anonymous to enter your comment. In this case, you will have to type your name at the end of your comment.

• IMPORTANT: In order for the comment to get onto her site, you must type the words in the box that says "word verification" just as they appear above the box (usually in color). The reason for this is so that "junk comments" can't appear on her blog. If you hit the "publish your comment" then you still see your comment in the box, that means you did not type in the word verification part correctly. Just retype the word and try again.

Megann had her first round of chemotherapy. She is feeling ok and is trying to keep down lots of water. She still appreciates all of your encouragement financially, prayerfully, and through the comments left on this blog. We need to pray continually over the next few months while she is taking these treatments for her stamina and for the chemo to work!
