Counting Blessings

 From Doris:

My body adapted more easily to a bump from a 100 mg to a 200 mg dose of medication than I expected.

My blood work this week was very good.  My numbers were almost all in normal ranges.

The young women in our ward left us loving chalk art on our driveway.  Lachlan saw it the next day and was very excited by it.  He was sad when the rain washed most of it away.

I was able to buy two blouses at Kohl’s which will make accessing my port easier.

Craft Warehouse had a truckload fabric sale this week.  We drive past this store on our way to/from St. Luke’s. Since I went to St. Luke’s twice for blood draws, we shopped at Craft Warehouse twice.

This week Kyle had a birthday.  It was fun to spend time with him and his family at a family dinner on Saturday.

I learned about another perk for oncology patients.  I am able to consult with a dietitian to get guidance on managing side effects of chemo drugs by what I eat or don’t eat. 

God gives me strength to endure through each moment as I ask for His help.

This upcoming week is the last one in which my chemo drug #2 will be increased.

I got a haircut this week. To be a cancer patient and not lose my hair is a blessing.
