Saturday Evening
Greetings to all far and near:
Thanks so much for the comments on the blog. It is indeed good and encouraging to hear from all of you as well.
Today has been a better day for Marty, Praise the Lord! Last night when she went to bed, it was not time to take a pain pill, so she took a sleeping pill and did that ever work. She slept for 8 hours. We have no idea how long it has been since she has done that. Then she got up and took a pain pill and went back in a very sound sleep for another 5 hours. Praise the Lord! So, she did not get up until about noon, for a kind of slow start and thus arrived at the Cancer Support Group at church about a half hour late. But it was still good for her to be there. The ladies were certainly glad to see her and she was certainly pleased to see them – so a good time was had by all. I thought she would come home and rest, but she came home and did some laundry,read, and now is doing some hand mending. It is the best she has been able to move her shoulder all week. Praise the Lord! Please continue your prayers and we are confident that God will continue the healing process because God is good – all the time! All the time – God is good!
For the coming week Marty will have a CBC, blood test, at Dukes on Monday, and then one on Wednesday and will see Dr. Lee that same day. If all the numbers are okay we should be heading back to St. V’s on Thursday for the second consolidation treatment. That will be good because it should get us out on the 19th or 20th which will give us a few days home before Christmas. The kids are planning to come around the 28th. So, Marty’s WBC blood count should be down and very close to being back up by that time. It really seems like the time will work out real well. Of course, we remember what happened a few weeks ago when I tried to second guess the process. I did not do very well. So, the bottom line is we will do it all in God’s timing and that will be awesome.
We hope that as you gather with your community of faith tomorrow you will be open and receptive to God’s presence, His message, His grace, and His love. Have an awesome and blessed day.
Marty and Jack

I read in the Presby Press about this blog and I appreciate being able to keep up with Marty's condition now, all the way from Bend, Oregon. Prayers are being offered to both of you from the Pacific Northwest. You are in our thoughts. Terry Miller
