Interesting developments...

The wonder of answered prayer continues, as Sue shows an increased desire for spiritual things; indeed, she said the other day that she thinks about little else at the moment. Suffice to say that it is not uncommon for her to listen to at least one sermon on CD or tape each day, and some days two or three! (I will need to download or order some more!) So may the Lord "give the increase" and enable her to retain and profit from what she hears.

The last 24 hours have been interesting, as we had to go to the hospital around 10:30 pm last night because the Groshong line (the line in her chest-wall, linked to the 24/7 pump) came out.......There was no pain, no bleeding; she had no idea there was anything wrong until I pointed it out! In the event, they did nothing last night (other than redo the dressing) because we were due at clinic this morning anyway.

The clinic this morning should have been the usual two hours for blood test/see doctor, followed by an hour or so later in the day for refitting the chemo sac. But no line, no chemo! However, she was also due to have a CT scan, which went OK; and the clinic doctor decided that rather than rush in and arrange a new Groshong line, it might be more sensible to await the scan results and then (next Tuesday) review the position and decide what to do next......

Meanwhile, she did have the usual blood test and, as that showed she is a little anaemic, a blood test has been arranged for Friday morning. That is part of the reason why she is so constantly tired.

We were so pleased when last week's chemo went well and straight-forwardly! But, as always, we remain comforted by the assurance that our Heavenly Father is never caught by surprise; He ordains our times and seasons, and "He doeth all things well".
