A better day
Yesterday went much better for Amy. She took her anti-nausea medication just before she left for Madison and she reported back to me that there was only one time in the middle of the afternoon that she felt a little queasy, but that was it. She’s also showing signs of increased energy as she did some house cleaning and quite a few loads of laundry and we also ran the gambit of parent – teacher conferences as well. All in all a good day, but when the day was done she was tired. It was a lot of activity for someone who’s body is going through a lot right now. Last night, she did mention to me that she felt that her speech was a bit slurred and that she felt very anxious. I didn’t really notice the slurring, but I did notice she was holding her mouth in a peculiar fashion and I also noticed that she was going from one task to another in a rushed manner. I wonder if it’s a side effect from one of her drugs or possibly a drug interaction. In either case, I asked her to mention it to her doctor today.
If it’s not too much to ask & if you’re think about it; each day at 9:00am, could each of you offer up a short prayer for Amy? This is roughly the time of her radiation treatments and please pray for strength, energy, healing and peace. I know there are some 400 people out there that supported Amy by wearing purple, wouldn’t it be incredible if we could get half that number to offer a short prayer each day?!
Matthew 18:20 says ‘For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.’
James 5:16 says ‘Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.’
Romans 12:12 says ‘Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction & faithful in prayer.’
Philippians 4:6 says ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer & petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.’
Colossians 4:2 says ‘Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful & thankful.’
Amy is settling into her radiation routine, but tomorrow is another day as her Chemo is scheduled to start. This could very well bring on new 'challenges' with how she feels and how her body reacts to it. She is very tired of feeling sick and just wants to get back on a mostly normal routine.
