We are all amazed at the power of these drugs. Mom is already breathing better already. She was "performing" for Ken and I showing us how deep she could take a breath today without coughing. It is unbelievable how improved her ability to take a breath is from just 3 weeks ago. She is pretty worn down from the chemo therapy however no pains, no nausea and no illness. God is good!
She read me emails and cards she has gotten today while I was at the house. We talked about Thanksgiving plans and just spent time watching the little one. Erica and Michael are going to be coming from Phoenix as well so we will all be together again. I can't wait for us all to be able to share a meal and pray together and thank God for all the ways he has and is blessing our family.
It has been a long day but a good day. Mom is adjusting from her very fast paced life to being a couch potato as she calls it. She was flipping through the channels on TV this morning and said there was a woman on some show that was a lung cancer survivor. She said she was talking about her treatments, recovery and now her research and awareness participation. This woman is a music teacher and plays the saxophones! Mom was encouraged by this story. She said she is going to look her up online soon and learn more about this woman.
I can't even begin to tell you all how good God is- because most if not all of you already know. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all for lifting our family up in prayer and praising God for all the blessings. Mom is so tough and she will survive this cancer that is growing with in her.
