Saturday Morning update
I felt I should put an update on here and give you a view of how things are going so far since my last post. It is Saturday morning and Kaye and I are going through our daily ritual of preparing something to eat so we can take our medicine. For me it is Paxil and Predneszone and for her it is a variety of pills for her osteoarthritis and cholosterol. We discuss the days events ahead and yesterdays events if any happened. The only difference in today is that both our sons are here and upstairs fast asleep. Matthew came in yesterday (went straight to her girlfriends house) and Ryan had a baseball game. When Matt called and said he was going to Savanna's first we were very happy for him because we know he has the right focus. We don't want him feel obligated to come see us first. We want him to focus his life on her and we want Ryan to focus on what is important to him, baseball and going off to NC State in August so that made us feel real good that normalcy may be returning us just a little bit at a time.
I went to the radiologist on Thursday and they maked the Lower GI for my next round of radiation. I will go again on Monday for the final xrays and the final markings and begin may end of next week and may the first of the following. I am somewhat energized that this could be the final stage of treatement for me and that God's wonderful miracle in me would be completed as far as that stage.
Kaye was instrumental in getting me the oxygen and the combination of the oxygen and the predneszone have really helped my breathing and the way I have dealt with the lung Neumitis. I am feel much better and getting my breathing capacity back a little each day. I tell people I have now learned that the road to healing is baby steps and that God has perfect timing and order.
I have also begun to not feel a sense of panic each time I cough or feel something in my chest that might feel unusual. I certainly pay attention to my body now but the fear that engulfs you when you first are told that you had a good PET Scan is beginning to subside. Don't get me wrong it still jumps up now and then but it is passing with time and when I have another PET it will be glorious to get the news that it too is negative and clear.
So many people have asked for prayer for their loved ones that are newly diagnosed with cancer and I am hoping to start a prayer chain of those names. Mr Jones and Mr. Godwin (I forgot to write down their fist names) are the first two. I will get a better system going than this.
God is so good and has blessed our family. My Dad is going through some issues with sickness and I call him almost everyday to check on him. He too needs to be remembered in prayer as we believe that God will heal him and get him going back on the computer and stock market again! I love you Dad more than you will ever know!
Kaye and I plan to travel some with my work this summer. She has resigned from her job (yes we prayed about it first!) and she feels led to nurse me 100% back to health so this is the chance we have worked for to have her accompany me on business......and pleasure (when her mom's mountain home if finished) and we two can then continue our relationship on another level that we feel God is directing us.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
Love
