Yesterday seemed like the end of the world and today was a bit better. God does have a way of taking His big 'ol hand and lifting us up with a pat on the back and saying now start again. And so----------I did!
I had another bone marrow biopsy at about 8:30 this morning. This one went so much better and I did not feel a thing. Dr. Carr was very encouraging this morning and said I was right on schedule and my body was just reacting how most peoples do and that mine was not as bad as some people have. I will continue to have infections pop up every day and they will continue to treat each one as individual. She definitely calms me down and is so positive, I tend to be much more positive.
I know I can get through this. I know there will be many more down days but as Dr. Carr said we will get you through this! She said people in the younger age bracket tend to do worse and people in the older age bracket (notice I am not there!)tend to do worse. But people in our age bracket follow a much better regimen.I am of course anxious for the results but the doctor is confident it will show 0 cells
Wes is having a colonoscopy tomorrow and is very anxious because a dear friend of ours was diagnosed a month ago with colon cancer. I know he will be fine and God holds him in the palm of His hand as well. Marshall will be taking care of him tomorrow so anyone reading this need needs to be praying for peace for Wes and his anxiousness.
Ps 94:19 says Lord, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer. That's what God did for me last night. I know how Job felt because if I would have had an ash heap I would have sat on it and rubbed it in my hair but God heard my cry and gave me renewed hope today.One day at a time! Faith for the moment.
God is good--------------all the time!
I'm so proud of you and how well you are handling all of these trials that keep coming your way. As I read each one of your post I feel as though I am visiting with you and catching up on how life is going; even though I cry through most of the text that I read. Oh... How I wish so much that I could trade places with you and let you be all well again. I keep having the verse in Iasiah run through my mind; "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,"
ReplyDeletedeclares the Lord. I don't understand why God's plans are as they are; I just know we must remain faithful to Him. Hang in there and keep getting stronger
so you can fight harder.
Don't you worry about Wes; God's got that one under control also. Tell Marshall to let us know if he needs anything. Love you bunches!!!!!!!!
