Day 71, still going well! We are encouraged to see the rising blood counts even though its very slow, ups and downs. We go weekly to the cancer clinic and VON nurses come to the house a few times a week to do meds by IV. I have been struggling with nausea more than we expected, some days it is difficult to get enough food and drink in, then there will be several good days in a row. It can be discouraging at times, but this is just all part of it. The doctor reminded us this is a marathon, not a sprint, so we just need to press on.
We are so thankful that God has answered prayer and there have been no serious setbacks so far and pray that this will continue. I am able to do things around the house and have Alana to keep me company. She still visits Auntie Brenda's 2 days a week while we have appointments and catch up on rest. I need to stay indoors most of the day, which is hard for her, but I have been strictly warned about any sun exposure as I am very vulnerable to skin cancer, especially in the first year.
Thank you all for the ongoing prayers and support. On Monday, I hope to celebrate my birthday, which we are especially grateful for this year, and I'll be accompanying Melanie to her ultrasound appointment and get a peek at our first grandchild, looking forward to it. We keep looking to Jesus one day at a time, and pray that we will honor God in this trial.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
It is good to hear from you and read about how things are going. May God grant you His perfect peace as you plod on the daily journey. We are praying for complete recovery!
