Faithfully Fighting

One Day to Go

I should blog today.  I know I should, but I’m having trouble putting words together.  Since it may be a while before I write again, let me start with thank you.  I am deeply blessed by all the wonderful prayers and words of encouragement that everyone is sending.  I truly do not feel worthy.

 

I received a card last night at church.  It is a lovely card, as are all the ones I’ve gotten.  But this one lists hourly times, from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm tomorrow.  Beside those times are the names of specific people that have chosen to pray for me and my family and my doctors during at those hours.  People that have decided to take that time to lift us up during their day.  It overwhelms me!  I am taking that card with me tomorrow to represent all you wonderful folks on the list and all you other folks who I know are also praying.  I have such joy in my heart to be in the company and prayers of magnificent children of our Lord.

 

Katie is struggling right now.  She had a melt down this morning.  I won’t make light of it, because her 7 year old heart was very, very heavy.  We talked about her fears.  I spent 45 minutes answering questions.  “Where are they taking the bad cells out?; “How do they know they have all of them?”; “How will they roll you over if you are asleep?”;  “Will you have hair when you come home?”; “How long will it be before I can hug you?”

 

My Oncologist’s office called this morning.  I haven’t seen or heard from them in 2 years.  They wanted to make an appointment for me 5 days after my surgery.  My surgeon’s office called me this morning too.  They called to change my surgery time from 9:30am tomorrow to 7:30 am tomorrow (We have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning – talk about adding insult to injury).  Remember the days when you’d call the doctor’s office and they’d never call you back, or call back days later.  From this day forward I’m going to measure my health by how long it takes the office/doctor to call me back.  When they start calling you and you haven’t even called them first, you know you’ve got a problem.

 

God Bless each and everyone of you!  I will write again when I am able.  Thank you so much for everything!

Love, Lynn
