Mom has made it into work 1/2 days everyday this week. We have had such a good week but tmrw is mom's chemo treatment again. So, we start over with the worst of the side effects but hopefully her body has adjusted well to the initial shock of the drugs. Her day will start very early at 8am check in to the clinic. She probably will not be home till after 5. Sherry wants to go sit with her this treatment so she will have good company while she is awake. Phil and Sherry prayed with mom today at just the right time. Steph brought over dinner and visited with her for a few minutes while I was there this evening.
I think everyone, in our family atleast, has our moments still of doubt. God has blessed us in so many ways but the devil is so smart for knowing your moments of weakness and crawling his unfaithful thoughts into our heads. I fight those moments everyday even after a month of dealing with this. I go back to work full time Monday. Although I am looking forward to being back to normal, I will miss my baby and my mom. I have really enjoyed the time I have been able to spend with her the last 5 weeks and more importantly serving her. My whole life she has given and served me and I feel so blessed that God has allowed me this time to bless her with my talents and company without the distraction of work.
We had a sermon when I was in the last few weeks before delivering Haidyn about being still and knowing that God is Lord. I thought then how restless I was to have my baby in my arms and just knew for sure God had forgotten how terribly uncomfortable the last weeks of pregnancy were and I would just be pregnant forever. Now that I am waiting to know if all these treatments are really working for my mom I am extremely restless about being still and waiting for God's answer. I am so thankful mom qualified for this clinical trial so we will have results in about 4 weeks to know what effect the drugs are having on the cancer. Psalms 27:13-14 "I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
That is so tough to do these days. Please pray for our continued faith in God's plan, the doctors and nurses that are treating mom and hundreds of others, mom's strength tmrw as she starts the chemo over and praise Him for the blessings he is pouring over us through the love and support you all provide.
