The weekend

As expected, Sue went into outpatients on Friday for her blood transfusion, which took the usual 4-5 hours. I am pleased to say that she felt brighter afterwards.

However, Jess was home for the weekend, and she had to accompany Sue down to the hospital again on Saturday as her mouth was very sore. (We told the consultant on Tuesday, but he said that it didn't look too bad; but it got worse.) They gave Sue some mouthwashes, and hopefully that will ease things. (I couldn't go, because I took J's car to the garage, as the clutch had gone....so she has taken Sue's car back to uni, somewhat nervously as it is bigger than hers; but she needs a car to get to her placement for the next few weeks. Hopefully hers will be fixed this week.)

What with the soreness of mouth, and continuing "on and off" stomach pains, Sue was not overbright yesterday; a bit muddled at times, and quite tearful, and having more recourse to the "when required" pain killers. Nonethless she managed to eat some lunch, and enjoyed it, which is a blessing.

As ever, we continue to look to the Lord, and trust in Him - our sovereign heavenly Father, who allows and permits and controls all things in His love.
