A slough of challenges for me

While Daniel's condition has thankfully been relatively stable this week,  I've had a hard week.

Between not having reliable hot water at home for five days (the tank pilot light kept going out and I couldn't get it relit),  and all the challenges that brings,  to having to email back and forth with the blended food supplier because the shipment was late and we were running very low,  to still fighting a bad throat cold since last week (one night it was very debilitating), to spending the last week checking with the supplier for Daniel's main pain med to make sure they had what I needed,  only to find out not only did they not have everything they said they would have,  but they were robbed and very,  very little was left.

So,  Daniel is on half rations so it lasts until Tuesday and hopefully they will get their next shipment in and we can get it to him. It's the only place that has what we need. I'm praying that the pain coverage will be somewhat adequate at half the amount. Needing to start him on harsh pharmaceutical drugs regularly again will ruin the equilibrium we've fought to maintain with his bowels and his ability to sleep.

No wonder this awful sore throat is hanging on so long.

Please pray for these med details, and of course for the big picture requests we are asking for. Daniel and I thank you. And thank you to all who have helped with so many of these challenges. 

Here's a picture of Daniel resting as I write this:

  1. My fellow believer in Christ,

    I'm sorry to hear of the struggles you and your family have faced. The prayer team and I, will bring this request up to the Lord. We declare and decree the promises of the Word. Calling on the Name regularly, healing is coming. Get someone to speak/sing the Name of God over you, Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey. It will bring order to every cell in your body. Wherever His Presence goes it brings glory, by making whatever it's in contact with reflect the image of God (as it did for Moses' on the mountain). Bless you Daniel. Be strong and courageous.
