Fasting and cleansing and pain. Not a great combination but definitely did better than I though I would. Am planning on staying up super late to keep sipping and replenishing clear fluids to plump up my veins. Plus, I figure I'll sleep longer in the morning.
My parents and my sisters spent the evening, just hanging out. Would have been a perfect night had there been appies and board games and Boney M Christmas playing in the background. Was a good night even as it was.
And then my kids got sad. I was doing good until they weren't.
Oh babies. Get behind them Satan, you shall not prevail in my children's lives! God is in control and He has a plan and He will take care of us with His huge and loving heart.
Stomach cramps from an empty tummy chomping pain meds. Sore shoulder and arm because I'm a fraidy-cat and keep putting off the next round of meds due to said 'empty tummy'.
Feeling hopeful for tomorrow. Praying for only good news and good surprises and good good good all over the day!!!!!
My sis will post an update for you after 8pm tomorrow night.
Thank you for your prayers.
Kristin
Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.
