Thusday Evening

Greeting from Indy!

Here is the present data about where we are:

St. Vincent Hospital
2001 West 86th Street
Indianapolis, IN 46260

Room 6603

1.866.338.2345 ext. 80702 800 number
1.317.338.0702 Local Direct

And of course you can get to us with a comment on the blog.

At present we are to be here until next Tuesday, so we would be delighted to hear from you.

We are doing fine. Marty had a central line put in early this afternoon so that will be a big help. The doc had a hard time getting it in becasue of scare tissue but it is in and we praise God for that. At times they have had so much trouble getting a IV started in Marty that this sure makes things a lot better. We just pray that they will let her go home with this in place becasue she will have to have a lot of blood work done when we get home. CBC every other day.

The trip down was uneventful, but the fog and misty rain were not the greatest thing to drive in. It was really a dull, dreary day - a lot different than when we
arrived in September. But that is all a part of God's creation and plan and we give God thanks for that. The afternoon has gone rather slow, waiting for this and that but the chemo is now going in. And we pray that it will do its job to kill off those bad cells, and be kind to the good cells and the organs. We again pray for God's will to be done and know that He is good, all the time.....

Marty has already taken her first walk around the 6th floor and checked it all out. Oh yes, by the way, this time our room is on the other side of the nurses station and is much smaller and the view out the window is the building that hold the other side of the 6th floor. What a great view! And they are even working on that side of the building. So I told Marty we will be able to watch them and maybe even be "side walk superintents". Ha Ha Ha We are so thankful that we were on the other side for the long stay and certainly hope that is the case for those who have to stay for a long time. We can certainly handle this for a week. Besides God will provide the light, sunshine, and views that we need.

Well I am sorry this is so late and I better get it published before it gets any later. So we will be back on with an update tomorrow. Until then praise God for all you have, have a great evening, get a good nights rest to serve the Lord tomorrow, and God bless you and all who you love.

Marty and Jack
