Well...here goes. From my perspective Ramona was having a pretty decent day. Last night was filled with aches and pains, and she actually never feels perfect during the day either, but this evening we realized that Ramona has gone three days without morphine. That's pretty impressive. The withdrawal effects from morphine are similar enough to what chemo feels like, I guess.
A combination of prayer, good people dropping by, and an adjustment to the nausea medication have improved the struggle with anxiety in the last two days.
When I came back to hospital tonight around 8:30. I went to the lounge to find a big group of people hanging out and having fun in there. Apparently, I had hair on my head.....so I didn't fit in. We have a neat group of people on 5B right now, all dealing with similar diagnosis es and chemos.

Your walk with the Lord is an inspiration to me. "Lord, help Earl & Ramona in their difficult times. Thank-you for the bright spots in their days. Thank-you that you are the Healer of healers! Give Ramona and & Earl a peaceful night without pain & anxiety and may their Spirits be refreshed in you. In the Name of Jesus.- Amen
