From Ian: Morning from a windy Ann Arbor. Yesterday was a stressful day for Di.
The doc came and gave her the news that she has the worse type of tumour/cancer. She took it ok, however did have a weep after he left.
She then went for her first speech therapy and became very frustrated. She tries so hard. Later in the day I bought her a Latte and her hand knocked it all over the bed and floor. That was it and she burst into tears. It's hard for her.
Anyhow the good news is that we should go home next week. Then 6 weeks of radiation everyday will start and chemotherapy. The chemotherapy is a pill so will be easier to take. One good thing is that the staples in her head will be removed today.
That's all. Thanks for your concern and comments. I read them to her.
Bless you all.

Hello to all.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are going home. It will be nice I am sure. This may all be overwhelming. I know how you feel, but please know we are all praying for you and I have some of my co-workers praying for you. Keep your chin up. My parents are cancer survivors. We know you can do it and we know that God will lay his healing hands on you. Remember that God is still with you in the hardest and darkest seasons/times in our lives. I love you all and wish I could do more than just pray.

Ian and Di, my heart goes out to both of you and your special children. This is not easy for either of you to bear. You must be worn out, washed out, and on an emotional roller coaster ride. I love you very dearly, and continue to pray for each of you.
ReplyDeleteJames 1:2-4 Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Hugs, hugs amd more hugs
