GOD -- Word for the Day -- Monday, April 13, 2009

GOD -- is good all the time and all the time GOD is good.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10 2008, marks one year that ChemoSabe (Jim) fell off the roof and broke his wrist. Same day we were told something was more serious than a metal plate and ten screws. We started our Multiple Myeloma journey on May 7, 2008… THAT DREADED VISIT

FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 2009 our anniversary of the new life we have lived and you have been there with us. You have made us strong when we were down. Took care of us when we called and we didn’t have to wait on you, either. You have traveled miles, and miles, and miles to take of our needs, especially during the time of the loss of my mother. BUT, GOD is the one that got us through this all.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10, another DREADED VISIT, because his counts came down and his immune system is very low. We have to stay in and away from people until about Tuesday. We were worried something else may have shown up in the tests from his fainting spell on Wednesday and the visit to the ER.

He received two more units of fluid on Friday. He got one in ER on Wed and two yesterday. Ho Hum…. Same ole stuff we hear every visit. THEN… we heard something we were TOTALLY unprepared for ---------------- She says, “Well, that’s it. You are done. You did very well in the Second Consolidation.” We looked at each other and then at her (that deer in the head light look)… We asked what she meant… “No more chemo”. I will see you next week when your treatment is done and then in three months. NO MO CHEMO!!!

I could not catch my breath and ChemoSabe had tears in his eyes. It was like last year, all over again. Listening to someone tell you that you have cancer and maybe six months or go to UAMS… We could not believe it --- NO MORE CHEMO TREATMENTS!!!!!!

Thank my Glorious God and the things he provided for us. What a week to give it to us. Thank you God…. Thank you ALL..
