Well...we're in Rochester...we just got to our hotel and Mandy and Ramona are upstairs dealing with dressing changes and I went to go look for a computer...sure enough...I found one...in case Ramona doesn't come down here I'll just write for a bit. Prayers were answered left, right and center today. The border crossing was no problem (atleast for the vehicle with all the medications and medical supplies). Mandy and Marlene spent some time in the garage. But all is well. For a large part of the day Ramona felt very well. The intense heartburn/hiccups/convulsing side-effects that go with chemo were almost non-existent today. Ramona and I spent alot of the time in her special back-of-van bed and watched a DVD on our computer to try to distract ourselves. Anyway...Ramona isn't exactly looking forward to the potentially innumerable tests in this next week. Tommorow we beg everyone to pray for a miracle. Pray that the tests come back showing no cancer. If God can do little things he can most certainly do big things.
Well, guess it's my turn now. Looks like Earl pretty much summed things up. I am so incredibly grateful that I felt so good today. God definitely answers prayer! One thing that God really showed me today is how important it is obey Him when He speaks. There were some things that God had really laid on my heart during chemo that I had still not yet done. One huge reason was because I wasn't brave enough fearing other's opinions. One of those things was sharing a song with my church that God challenged me to share over a week ago. It plagued me every day. Yesterday my pastor asked if Earl & I had anything to share with the church and I thank God for second chances as today my church heard track6 from Casting Crowns. I really feel that due to my obedience, God blessed me.
Well in a few hours, the tests begin. Right now I feel pretty emotionally unstable and wish this whole cancer thing were just some horrible nightmare. I praise God that He's in control but am anxiously waiting for His healing.
Thanks for your prayers and goodnight
Ramona
