Day +2 has been a good day. Some of the issues I had been dealing with yesterday have been addressed through medication changes. The team here said "we are all about managing". What they don't want to see is that I get so run down that it becomes harder to fight and resist attacks. So a good night sleep (with all its interruptions as a matter of course), and a good day. Able to eat well, and drink enough (Barb is a good encouragement for me). We even had a game of Scrabble this afternoon, where for a while it seemed life was normal, and we could forget for an hour. It was fun, but I was hoping for something different than the usual thrashing I get in the game. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
This afternoon Barb and I were looking at a passage and commentary from Charles Spurgeon. I want to share a piece of that tonight.
"Dear friend, if both your circumstance and your spirit sink, all will be well if you lean on God alone. Never fear that you will become weary to Him, and never ask as little as possible. He says, "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it" Ps. 81:10 Never trust Him just a little. Never give Him only a part of your cares. Never rest just a portion of your trials on Him. Lean on Him with all your weight. Bring all the tons, pounds, and ounces and throw them all on God. Do not carry an extra ounce yourself. God loves His children to place their entire confidence in Him."
I Peter 5:7 ESV
"Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you"

It is late in the night and I hope you have a good and restful sleep. Our thoughts and prayers go with you
and Barb all the time. Looks like systems and management is doing an excellent job of keeping side effects at bay. May God bless the medications and the medical people that administer them. Henry and arlene
Should you expect anything less from Mom? :) (hope she didn't use the word 'fa' on you again! haha) Glad to read that managing is going well. Hope to see you soon! xo

We thank God for His empowerment to you, that through the trials you face of this disease, you are witnessing for Him by sharing your gift of faith via this blog.
