Sorry to not update sooner. It has been a rough week and I needed prayer but didn't ask. So thankful that so many people sent texts and notes of encouragement. The Lord knew what I needed and sent it through y'all without me asking.
After chemo on Thursday, I felt ok enough on Friday to go to bible study. It was great to get out of the house and see some ladies at church and be encouraged. After bible study, I crashed - which was expected. Saturday was rough and Sunday was worse. My GI issues swung from one extreme to the other and we had to visit the ER to get some balance. My nurses and doctors in the ER were great and once they ruled out really bad stuff, they treated my immediate complications I was released to go home at 4am. I really need to find a balance of the medications I am on!
Monday was a rough recovery from staying up all night, but I looked forward to a hydration appointment that brought more relief. Tuesday and Wednesday felt back to the normal "miserable" but slightly less as I was able to tolerate a bit of food! Thursday brought more relief with another hydration appointment after which it felt like I was turning a corner. Throughout the week, texts of encouragement got me through. I am amazed at the particular verses people were prompted to send and how those words met me right where I was at.
Meals this week were such a blessing as I was able to tolerate a bit of each food people dropped off and it gave me a variety of leftovers to choose from during the day making it more likely I would eat anything. Thank you for bringing us meals!!! I told one couple last night that they may feel like one meal wasn't making a dent, but all the cards, meals, and texts feel like a wave of care crashing into us. We are so blessed and cared for by our loving God who sees me and knows what I need before I ask.
"...for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." - Matthew 6:8
