Please pray for wisdom for my medical team, strength for my body, peace for us as we wait and rest in this moment.
The kids are okay but really would like their mommy and daddy home soon! So grateful for the positives of the week and still can't process what a tough and dire circumstance God brought us through this far. It is just incredible to think on.
We have learned a lot in this cancer journey and we are only cycle 2 of maybe 6. I find it encouraging (is that strange?) each time a nurse asks what chemo I am on, and I tell her and she says "whoa, that's the big ones" or similar. And I do a little mental happy dance, cuz I did it! My family and I, we did it! [smile]. Couldn't do this without all the help. Honestly, so touched as so incredibly grateful to you all.
The next months will be figuring out the new normal again as we hope and wait and wish and dream... of camping and travel and candy stores to check out and time together to savour!
Does this mean new IV every time you go for chemo? I'm glad it's out...must feel awfully nice to have it gone.
ReplyDeleteI have Herman (port under my skin, at right shoulder area) for chemo. This was emerg IV and pain port for this week's stay in hospital).
DeleteI see...thanks for clarifying!
DeleteI'm so happy for you that things are looking up! :)
ReplyDeleteThankful for you to see strength and newness in each new day as God leads you in this journey step by step. Acknowledging the small doses of improvements and thankfulness will help you all get through this. Contiously praying. Lori
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you are on the mend. I was away last week. Imagine my surprise to find out what happened during the week. Eek.
