Prayer and God's "More" Love
Stew and Shi working on a craft project.:-)
Stew was due for his day 11 shot of the chemo velcade today. It didn't happen. Both the wbc and neutrophils counts are too low even for the injection. First time he has been unable to complete a round of chemo. No more velcade will be given till the next round.
That means another three days of the filgrastim shots and then a return visit to see Dr. K. on the 14th of December. At that time labs will be done, we will know if he can begin the final round of chemo, and what steps need to be taken, if not.
Also, we haven't shared this before in so many words, but Stew has been progressively feeling worse in his physical body. The stomach discomfort has increased and pretty much makes itself known at some level 24/7. There is more bone pain, and he can now feel with his hands some of the larger lymphomas in his stomach. That said, we still believe He is being healed, we are enjoying life, and we are ever thankful that your prayers and faith continue to be added to ours without weariness in waiting for the Father's answer.
Praise:
You
God's love
Our family
Friends like family
Stew's prayerfully determined attitude
Gluten free toast and tea
The power that happens when people pray together and believe.
Faces to the Wall:
Healing inside out
With love and grateful hearts,

DeleteI am standing firm that God is in this completely in every way. Believing with you that he is being healed. It's darkest before the dawn. Praising with you the good in each day and with every step. Some things are beyond our understanding but that's where out faith comes. We love you and are here believing.
