Well I made it through my first treatment! I will have to go back again in three weeks. I go tomorrow to pick out my wig...promises to be an interesting trip I know! I think I might get like four different ones, and wear whichever one I feel in the mood for that day. And how wonderful that my hair will always be ready! No more bad hair days!
I have so many thank yous to say. So many people have blessed me and my family during this time that it is truly overwhelming. Thank you GasTech Group for our dinner lastnight, and Jimmy Drounette for dinner and groceries tonight. Thank you to all that have offered to donate their vacation time. Thank you to my sister, who came and cleaned every single spec of dirt in my home. I walked through the doors, and it smelled clean, and it still smells clean!! I know she worked so hard, becuase my place was a mess! ;O) Thank you Bryant for the recliner! Thank you mom for coming and waiting on me, and walking me through all of the medical aspects of this. Thank you for the lunches, and beautiful hats and earrings and clothes. I'm so glad you are here. Thank you Dad for driving all those hours to come and see me. Thank you David and Sarah for taking such great care of my babies. Thank you to all my nurses today, Lisa, Sharon, Constance, and Willie. Thank you Dr. Littleton and Dr. Atkinson for taking great care of me today. Thank you soooooo much to everyone that has sent me an email or a text message telling me that they were thinking about me, or praying for me. Those emails and messages are so dear to me, and I have saved them all! Thank you Jonni for holding me up when I needed to lean on you, and ofcourse for keeping me laughing. Thank you for your unconditional love. And last but definately not least, thank you God that you have kept this cancer from spreading anywhere else in my body, and thank you for the salvation and healing that you provided through the cross of Christ. Thank you for your peace that passes all understanding and blessed assurance that I can cling to in the face of trials. Thank you that in my weakness, your strength in me is increased! Thank you for molding and shaping me into the person that you want me to be, so that I can accomplish your purposes in this life. Thank you for how much you love me. Thank you for this trial, that will test and prove and strengthen my faith and my relationship with you. Thank you.
Yo - stay in His strength. Keep laughing. Know that Robin and I are praying for you.
ReplyDeleteOn the day Daniel sent me a link to your blog, a friend reminded me of a powerful link I watched 2 years ago and like to watch at least once a year, because her testimony is so beautiful and powerful. She has now gone on to be with the Lord, but I thought if you've never seen her, her story may still be of encouragement to you.
