Round 18 is finished.
We got home today around 6:30 p.m.
Although Ramona has essentially been in bed ever since we got home, she is doing better than last round. The stomach pain is more bearable and her methadone dosage is lower, meaning that her mental state is better too.
Often after a time in the hospital, Ramona will have been on so much medication that although we've spent countless hours together, we're in very different worlds by the time we get home.
Our spiritual journey feels like it needs a minute by minute update, instead of every few days. In the last little while we've had some time to reflect on our last half year as we've either catching up with people we haven't seen in a while, or we're just thinking.
It's interesting on a week like this. The person two doors down the hall on 5B is Biship van Johnson. (His and Gloria's pictures can be found on powerformiracles.com). It makes for amazing conversations at we get to here so many stories of what God has done through some of these people.
I even bought Father Rolland (St. B priest) a coffee and got him to tell me stories of some of the awesome things happening in St. B.
I really have no idea how to organize my thoughts right now. I'm tempted to delete this whole thing and go to bed, but I really want to thank the multitudes of people that are sticking with us.
.....thanks,
Earl
