Dear Reader:

Two weeks ago my largest uncertainty was my eligibility to participate in a new chemo drug… an important make or break change in my fifteen year sojourn fighting this “little c” disease … that was starting to spread producing gradual weight loss …now ( seemingly) out of control.

But one remarkable bonus appears through all of this…” When everything is uncertain, everything that is important becomes clear!” It is clear God that is beside me… I am not alone!

Update two weeks later… a roller coaster ride! I was eligible for the drug-but wait time to receive it kept getting extended-came down with the flu-got over flu and temperature since then never returned-gag reflex hit hard… could only get liquids down-weight loss increasing-new chemo drug arrives – can’t take it without a full stomach of solid foods… melt-down-God Intervenes-start eating solid foods, small but encouraging increases in energy. Eat some solid food-yesterday nervously take my chemo tablet-huge! I nicknamed it ” Big Blue.” ( As I write this -so far no nausea and will pray 🙏🏻 it never happens! God is SO holding my hand… I am not letting Him out of my ” sight.”

So until tomorrow…

Today is my favorite day… Winnie the Pooh

Tonight I watched as Brooke’s lawn torch lanterns started turning on.Four out of six came on… think the other two want a little more light… I don’t blame them.. I not only want more of God’s light in my life but I need God’s light to keep the darkness away! Thank you Brookie!

Finally got to talk to Ben… I was so relieved and happy… nothing short of a miracle… Ben seemed like his old self-in wheelchair while he recovers but wanting to know what was going on in Wellmore. Downright unbelievable! Ben was and is a Marine! Wheeling around as if he always had done it… the front desk receptionist, Vera told me laughing! It made my day!

It is now 9 PM and NOTHING!!! Such a beautiful word… no nausea or other adverse response to the chemo drug to date!

Again your prayers are building a bridge of hope for myself and my brother. I am filled with such gratitude! 💗

PS. Hope you had a terrific Rabbit… Rabbit first day of October! I did!
