Updates and Prayer
Update:
- Stew had his final injection for this first round of chemo on Monday. Each visit with Dr. K. is a lesson in faith. She shares the necessary information, but then makes time to just visit and encourage. She asks about our family every time, and shares something about prayer. We feel God is not only using her as a vessel to walk with us on the path to Stew's healing, but that He has given her to us as an encouragement to our spirits.
- This time she told Stew that she never wants it to be just about the negative, but about the positive, too. That prayer and a positive outlook can make a difference, She shared that she has been praying and thinking about us, and believes that God brought us together so "let's see what He does."
- Stew handled this injection well. The only thing he is experiencing, besides the symptoms that took him to her in the first place, is the tiredness. It seems to hit about 24 hours after each injection. As you are praying for his healing, please pray for strength in his body for the journey. He has now lost 30 pounds...but as he said, "Deb, I know how I look, but I am choosing to see myself healthy by faith, and not by what's in the mirror."
- We have a 9 day break with no appointments, and then it begins again. Schedule so far for prayer purposes:
Friday, 2 September-Chemo Infusion (4 hours) 10am
Tuesday, 6 September- Day 4 Injection
One of Stew's early morning prayers:
Thank you more than words can express for praying and standing with us. We thank God for you daily. May you reap abundance from every seed being sowed.
