Faithfully Fighting

I’m happy to report I’m a little more lucid today.  I will not make any promises for tomorrow, but right now I’m doing ok.  Must be Patty’s chicken soup for lunch, yummy! 

I forgot to report one very important detail yesterday.  It appears I’m going to be a Grandma in the next couple of days.  Jessica had been having some issues with her blood pressure and when she went on Weds and she was 1 cm dilated so doctor decided it is time.  She goes into the hospital Sunday night and they are going to try to get the ball rolling.  So I figure within the next 2-3 days I’m going to have my new grandbaby.  Jessica has been on bed rest since Weds, so I’ve only talked to her (since both of us are in bed most of the day).  She’s feeling that nervous, oh no it’s time, feeling, but is very excited.  I am too, except I’m going to miss it.  God’s timing is being truly merciful to my daughter, I think.  She won’t have to worry about a hovering mommy while she’s cranky.  I will have to recruit family to bring me lots of pictures of the baby when it arrives. 

Pray for my sweet girl as she brings life into this world.  It is a blessed moment that I know she will cherish.

Thanks for all the well wishes and comments!  You guys are great.  Folks I don’t even know are praying and writing!  Thank you so much.  God is Good!!  All the time!

I’m home.  I’m really shaky.  I can’t focus too well, probably has something to do with the Vicaden.  I am surprised to say that it has been as much an emotional battle for me so far as a physical one.  I thought the emotional battle would come later, but apparently I was wrong.

I feel like I have those tiny rubber bands under my arms and around chest right now.  You know the ones that only stretch one inch.  Only they are stretched all the way around.  The doctors office says the tightness is normal.  Can I say there is nothing normal about what is going on right now. 

I’m really glad to be home.  I hate that Mom and Dad and Pete are doing all the work around here and I mostly cry and whine.  I should be truly grateful and feel blessed for all the prayers that have allowed me to get home earlier than expected and will see me through the pain and having the blessing of them to help me .  And I am, I really am, but sometimes I’m very selfish and for that I hope you and the Lord will forgive me.  It’s only a couple of weeks and it’ll get better.  An FYI, I’m supposed to start Chemo in 3 weeks.
