Wednesday Night
Greetings:
Today has been a very TIRED day. Marty received 12 units of platelets this morning, had her liquid lunch, took her second walk for the day, got her shower and was really beat. She also found the room to be really cold today so we have been adjusting the AC and the clothes she has on. Marty is still on the liquids by mouth and receiving the TPN IV. It certainly does seem to be helping her stomach which has been feeling much better. The wish to feel as good as she looks is still very much alive and well, but certainly not the truth, even though Marty wishes it was. All who come in to see her comment on how good they think she looks, but it really doesn’t fit where she is. She only wishes that if she does indeed look that good that she felt that good as well. We just have to keep saying that that day will come.
We were really pleased to have Kyle B. stop by today on his way home from work. It was really nice to visit with him. Yesterday we also had a visitor that really surprised us and whom we enjoyed. Last fall, when we were in here, there was a real nice young black man who brought Marty’s meals on several occasions. And as she will usually do, she asked his name. Well she had to ask it a couple of time and even had him spell it. But she got it down perfect and as she called him his name each time he came in, he seemed really pleased. His name is Macaya.
Well, I saw Macaya the second day we were here this time and spoke to him. But he had not had the opportunity to see or talk to Marty because he had not brought any of her meals. So, yesterday after he got off work he came up and sat down and talked with us for a half hour or more. We are not sure where he is from but we know that he has not been in Indy for about a year, give or take.
The next time he comes in, we will have to try to find out more about his back-ground. He is really a nice young man and we feel really honored that he came to see Marty.
Cindy and Gayle also stopped in last night and it was good to see them after they had made the rounds at the Noblesville Home Show.
Finally for tonight, “you never know what a day may bring but the time for serving God is always present.” Last fall one of our good friends from Winchester called Marty a couple times when she was here in St. V’s to cheer her up and encourage her. It was really positive and we certainly appreciated it. Well about 3 weeks ago we got a call telling us that he was very sick and was in Reid Memorial Hospital in Richmond. Then last Thursday we got an email that he was being taken to IU Med. Center Hospital because Reid still was not sure what was going on with him. Then, on Friday we got a call saying that he had Burkitt ’s lymphoma in final stages that meant he had 1 to 6 weeks to live and that they were going to take him back to Winchester to a Nursing Home. Thank the Lord, that I went down to I U Med. Center Hospital on Sunday, to see him, because today we got an email that he died at 11:00 am this morning. He was 66 years old. That sure is not what we expected today to bring, but we know that it is always time to praise the Lord. And we know that God has a plan and that His plan is good and that it will prevail. Praise the Lord!
Have a positive day and God bless.
