Prayers Answered!
Monday morning found us with snacks packed, items to occupy our day, and on the road at 9:00 am filled with the expectation that chemo would be given. When we arrived at the clinic, first stop was Dr. K's office for Stew to have blood drawn.
While we waited for the results it was so encouraging to read texts, comments on the FB prayer page, and messages from those who read our prayer request. I loved seeing Stew's face. He was so touched by the kindness and support. The fact that there were people praying for him at different times throughout the night and into the morning reminded us of how blessed we are to be a part of the body of Christ. A body that is not limited by walls, denomination or location. Thank you!
And, those prayers were answered as prayed. Glory to God! Chemo was given and Stew handled it well. He slept off and on throughout the 6 hour process. :-) We were also given the VIP treatment again and placed in a separate room off the main area. Not sure if that is because we are the ones who seem to be there the longest each time, or if that is just until his labs are more stable.
But, on the humorous side, it does lessen the enjoyment others might receive from listening to his rhythmic snoring. :-)
Rejoicing in the love of our Father and the gift of you in our lives.
Love and prayers,
Stew and Deb
On a good note Deb and Uncle Gary, it sounds like one of our German road trips to Berchestgardens, or Kemsee, or the big amusement park we all went too. Snacks, good books, puzzles, etc...let the excitement begin...REMEMBER??? We always had wonderful fellowship with all our godly buddies, and this is just another journey that we are all, taking the road trip with you and Uncle Gary. The expectation of God's answered prayers is just as exciting and fulfilling as we continue the journey together. So happy all went well Monday, and that Uncle Gary did so well this time. (I remember the snoring too, I was the worst in my chemo room they said), LOL. Love you both...still Face to the Wall daily.
ReplyDeleteHi Dee,
ReplyDeleteYou described our German road trips perfectly.How blessed we were to have each other and to still be connected even now over 20 years later! Praise God! We like the analogy of still taking another road trip together. That means there will be lots of laughter, fun, good moments, and smiles, even on this trip. And, we will have special memories to reflect on even as you, Stew, and I are doing now. Thank you for not growing weary in praying Face to the Wall daily. We love you much!
