Life update + what will be next

(Within the image above)
Keith and I had a birthday in August!
I turned Large 5-0 and turned 55!

Earlier than I announce what can be right here on Ladies dwelling effectivelyI need to share a second of updating with you a latest prognosis of most cancers most cancers and subsequent kidney failure.

Once I first shared it, We had been nonetheless making an attempt to take all of it – course of messages, meet docs and attempt to discover out a remedy plan that may be efficient to scale back the illness in his physique.

The primary 3 weeks of remedy (for 3 blood most cancers in section 3 – there are solely 3 phases) had been ineffective (which was scary), however now our specialist has discovered an ideal 4 -time remedy plan and it really works! 🙌 Reward of the Lord!

So since Our days have discovered a brand new rhythm, although not simple. Now it’s on the kidney dialysis 3 times every week – per day, Wednesday and Friday. Every session takes about 4 hours. This itself made life troublesome as a result of it needed to fully change its weight-reduction plan (he lacks so many meals he loved) and since the dialysis port was approaching his coronary heart – he may now not take a bathe (so I used to be washing my hair within the bathtub).

After which there's work. He can’t return as a result of a dialysis schedule and lots of conferences – every day are often for blood and Thursday for chemo and immunotherapy, which additionally lasts about 4 hours (not counting on a regular basis of driving). Our weeks really feel full medical conferences, and though it’s exhausting, we’re grateful for the care it receives.

He lacks work. He lacks the rhythm of regular life. Each sure. My husband has all the time been so bodily – he loves mowing the garden, washing the automobile, working together with his palms. Generally he generally tries, simply to really feel like him, however then he often leaves him due to the fractures of compression on the ribs and the backbone or fever that come from his chemical remedy. It was arduous – they watched for him and for me.

Even the church seems to be totally different. Now that the flu season has begun, its immune system is unable to deal with the danger. Watching from house didn’t really feel the identical means, so we began to return again, however as an alternative of the shrine sat within the lobby. It isn’t precisely what we’re used to – however simply to be within the Lord's home, to listen to the phrase and be near his individuals (even whether it is distant) looks like a balm on our drained souls.

Generally all of it feels crushed. Different instances I see God's mercy so clearly. There have been lengthy days of ready, arduous conversations and moments of concern. However once we open the Phrase of God, we keep in mind – its energy is ideal in our weak spot. It’s actually our refuge and our fortress, our ubiquitous help on the time of hassle (Psalm 46: 1).

👊 I maintain it firmly …

We have no idea what to carry tomorrow, however we all know who has tomorrow – and that offers us hope.

❤ For these of you who prayed for us, thanks from the underside of my coronary heart. Your phrases, your prayers, your information of encouragement introduced us greater than you already know. Proceed prayer: for taking choices for knowledge, my husband's energy when he undergoes remedy, and for God's peace that can guard our hearts within the coming days.
