Remember my dear peeps, I'm praying for tolerance and not patience. Also need prayers for courage to ask friends for help in getting to appointments. I think I said in yesterday's blog that I will still drive to work since it is literally five minutes from getting into the car to getting out of the car. But I will mind the good Dr. B and get rides to appointments. When I think about how bad I felt last Wednesday, driving down the interstate (freeway to Californians and expressway to Chicagians) was probably not the smartest thing I've ever done. But I've been pretty convinced on more than one occasion that God has provided me with a special angel to accompany me when I'm driving.
Ya know, God is a pretty cool guy! I'm really blessed that His Son, Jesus Christ, was willing to give up His life for me so that I can be assured of eternal life. What is more important to me right now is that I can go to the Father in prayer and know that He hears me and He hears all of you. We are so blessed.
I just got off the phone with my baby brother, Paul. He continues to be very concerned about his friend Rick. The chemotherapy that they had been giving him for his brain has quit working and Rick hasn't been responding to Paul's voicemail messages as he had in the past. Please remember Rick and his wife, Sue, in your prayers.
Also, please shout out prayers of thanksgiving for my incredible care team! My doctors, nurses, dietician, infusion team at St. Luke's, the chemo staff at PCI, and the lab people and office staff at PCI. They really really care about how I am doing and aren't afraid to show it. Dr. B. always gives me a big hug before she leaves the exam room and Candace gave me a hug yesterday as well. If I'm gonna be sick, I'm glad I have this group taking care of me. (Okay, maybe there are those two leeches in the lab that need to go hold a penny on the wall with their noses for about eight hours some day! But, God loves them too!)
Well, I need to get to bed because I have a big day tomorrow????? I have to get my injection, make a bank deposit, pick up a prescription, buy some groceries and then, I HAVE to bake a birthday cake for a very special young lady. I tell ya, once a Mom, always a Mom. Matt texted me from Chicago relatively early this morning and wanted to know if I could save his little butt because he totally forgot about a birthday care for Joelle "with all the hub-bub of going to Chicago." But, he and Joelle have both been helping me out and he did ask very nicely and was very appreciative when I said I'd bake it for her.
What is it about boys anyway? Megan is this wonderfully mature, responsible incredible young woman and the boys are .... well, they're still boys!!!!! But, I love 'em all just the same!
Please pray that the chemo has killed enough bad cells that my marrow can start producing some good cells cuz that's the current goal.
God bless you all.
