I can't believe that I only have 2 more treatments left. I remember like it was yesterday going through my second treatment and thinking that there is no way I can do this. But as I recall a friend saying to me after she underwent chemo that she was amazed at what she could endure. Thanks Jennifer Morton for those words of encouragement and all that you have done for me! You are a good friend! I also want to Thank from the bottom of my heart...my Sunday School class! You have ministered to us, prayed over us and faithfully brought us meals. It has been a very tough year for our family but you all have helped lighten our load. Through this journey as I called it, I have reminded of the awesomeness of my Heavenly Father. He is good, holy, gracious, faithful, truthful, just, all knowing, ever present (Amen!) and all powerful! I believe with all my heart that I have gotten through all that I have and been told how good I look only due to being bathed in prayer. I thank God for a Godly Mother and friends. I thank those that don't even know our family and are praying for us, even bringing us meals. An example of God bringing strangers into my life to minister to me just happened on Monday. I had to go downtown for my chemo due to the doctors at Baptist South being on vacation. I arrived at 9:30am and it was very busy. They couldn't locate my chart and had to get in touch with my Dr. to verify treatment drugs and dosages, etc. By 11am things were just starting to get going and I told that my Dr. had ordered some extra fluids (calcium and magnesium and each of them would add an extra hour to my treatment time. I was told I would be there until 4pm or so. I did not have a friend along that could run and get me something to eat and I was too far away from everyone that I know to bring me something to eat. I had not brought anything either. (Didn't expect to be there ALL DAY!) I usually finish by 1pm'ish and grab something on my way home or eat when I get home. Another patient that was there just for lab work overheard the nurse tell me I was stuck there all day offered to get me something to eat from the cafeteria in the building. She saved me! I would have been miserable not eating any real food all day. The chemo treatment rooms have snacks but crackers only go so far! God is Great! I also want to thank my mother in-law and father in-law for chauffeuring me around to my appointments when I am not feeling up to driving myself. Thanks John and Candy for Sonny's... Brooke says it was the best meal brought to us. She loves ribs!
