Evelyn came out last night. That was great. I could do little, mostly just lay here. Sandy Smith called Evelyn and offered to watch the sleeping kids so she could come; what a blessing from God.
The Battalion Boys club I grew up attending came out to pray for me and my family. It was nice to have their support.
Praise God for a good night of sleep. I drank lots of water this morning. Considering I couldn't swallow anything yesterday without vomiting, that's a huge improvement.
I'm also thankful for the wonderful, helpful nurses who are taking good care of me.
Update from Evelyn:
I'm spending the day with Daniel today (thanks, Mom!). He is doing so much better. The anti-nausea drugs have kicked in and he was able to eat breakfast and a large lunch. It's still painful and tricky to eat, but he is determined to fight. I'm so thankful.
His chemo infusion finished an hour ago. Please pray that the side effects dissipate quickly.
A pain control specialist doctor started Daniel on a few different pain meds as pain control still needs work. Thankfully, the doctor actually phoned me yesterday to check with me and answer my questions. Nice to be involved in important decisions :) He visited Daniel again today to check on him.
Daniel will be in hospital still over the weekend so they can figure out dosages for these new pain meds. That's what is keeping him from coming home, so please pray for wisdom for the doctors and nurses and effectiveness for the meds! Daniel and I so badly want him home for his chemo break!
Thank you for your continuing prayers and for many of you helping out in such practical ways too! We so appreciate your encouragement and support!!
