Colleen went for her treatment at the clinic today. She got 2 types of chemotherapy PEG and vincristine. She has been nauseated all day despite using all sorts of nausea drugs. It is so hard as a parent to have to sit by and watch your child suffer.Colleen as usual has been very strong- no tears - no complaining- no whining. And yet we have so much to be thankful for. We are currently 3 months into our 6 month intensive therapy and despite our 2 scares the stroke and the strange movements, God has blessed us with a month or so of quiet. Cydnie has a terrible cold. Please pray that God will protect Colleen and the rest of the family from this and other illnesses and pray that the nausea will subside.
Matthew 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
No matter what our circumstance, there is always someone worse off than we are. In life, we can choose to be angry with God and wonder why me or why us or we can be thankful for Gods grace and goodness. I heard about a child who died recently from lymphoma after a 9 month hospitalization. We spent only one week in the hospital and that was very hard. I do not even know this childs name or the family but their story was so touching. We do not know their name but our father in heaven does. Please pray for this family as they mourn the loss of their child. Thank you for praying.
Len wants me to share the beads of courage website. She gets a bead for every clinic visit, needle poke, icu visit etc. Our journey has been relatively calm compared to others. Colleen has a string of beads that are 8 feet tall already in 3 months. Each bead tells a story. If you type in beads of courage on facebook you can see the beads and many inspiring stories.
