In and out

Pleased to report that Sue went into hospital yesterday to have the Groshong line re-fitted and, after an xray to make sure it was all in the right place, she was allowed home again this morning. She feels (and sounds) quite well, which is a blessing - despite not having had much sleep last night as the ward was a little noisier than usual....

The next stage will be Tuesday. In theory she is due for another overnight stay, for the three-weekly intravenous chemo (don't these three week periods fly by?!); but in practice this is unlikely, based partly on previous experience and partly on the fact that there is a bed crisis at the hospital at the moment (so says local paper!). We will ring on Tuesday just in case; but, even if there is no bed, we will have to go in anyway for the outpatients clinic, so that the 24/7 pump can be restarted now that the line is in place.

In it all - totally unstressed, totally at peace, totally confident that our lives are ordered by the Lord and our times are in His hands. What a blessing!
