Sorry for the slow update. At this point, it probably seems like either something has gone terribly wrong or I’m on the mend. Thankfully, it’s the latter. After being admitted into the hospital for treatment of a terrible stomach bug and headaches from the lumbar puncture, I’m back to the apartment and back to my outpatient schedule.
I still have the headaches from the intrathecal methotrexate, but I do have relief when I lie down. This has set me back a week for my schedule of four doses, so that’s a little disappointing, but obviously we don’t want to rush things.
School has finished for the girls and our lease for our apartment is ending this weekend. So, the kids and grandparents will be heading back to our home. I will wait out the remaining treatments here with my sister and Jonathan switching off “caregiving”. We are very grateful that the same local ministry that housed us in February is welcoming us back.
Please pray for the kids as they return home without us, and for the grandparents who will need extra energy and patience. Please pray that my remaining treatments are efficient, that I have patience and that I keep trusting God with each step. Please pray for Jonathan’s balance of work, family and tending to a wife with cancer – it is a big load. He does an incredible job and I pray for his continued energy and determination.
I hope I can announce a Houston end-date with the next post. . .
Thinking about you guys. Hope to see all of you back in TN soon! *hugs*
So glad to see you are feeling a little better. Praying those headaches go away and your Houston end date is very soon!
I am adding our constant thoughts and prayers to others’, that you’ll be able to be in your own home again soon! I’m glad that you don’t have to worry about housing, either. 🙂
I just read through all your recent Blogs, and am amazed at how God has brought so many blessings out of this difficult journey toward recovery. One, we pray, that is almost over as you begin to regain strength and walk in fullness of health. What a testimony you have! And what a tower of strength Johnathan has been, truly a “strong and courageous” helpmate; as well as both sets of parents. The children have been so brave and resilient, and you…well, you are the heroine and warrior who has modeled God’s Grace and reflected God’s Glory through it all. Come home soon! Many blessings await, Len and William
Praying your Houston end date is very, very soon!
We are praying with you. You and Jon both need patience at this point so we are praying for that too. I know the kids are preparing a big welcome home for you when you are able to join them. We pray it will be soon!
We think of you often and pray for your continued healing!
So glad to read this! Was beginning to worry (as you mentioned in your post :))
Praying daily for your return home and continued healing.
XOXO
