Ryan was so wiped out on Sunday because his hemoglobin was low. When he went for blood and to his doctor's appointment yesterday, his white count was down from Friday (I think someone made a mistake in telling us to stop the shot that helps him make white blood cells). He had to begin that shot again and he also spent the rest of the day at Wayne Hospital getting 2 units of blood. He seemed to feel a lot better this morning when I left, although his back his giving him some trouble and he tossed
and turned a lot last night. Hopefully he will sleep a little better today.
While he was at Wayne Hospital yesterday, he had a cat scan of his stomach and one of his lumbar region because he'd been having some stomach pain and developed back pain. Everything looks fine on the scans.
Please pray for Ryan that his back pain will go away. Please pray for me because I'm a little disappointed - Ryan is scheduled to go back to Miami Valley on Friday for round 4 which means he won't be home for my first mother's day. I know I'm being a little selfish, but I was really hoping he would be home.
As for the weeds in my flower bed - does the other hardware store in Greenville have a suggestion for me? I'll be in if you tell me something that will work!

April, We will be praying that Ryan regains his strength and that round 4 at the hospital will pass quickly and with good results. We'll also keep in mind his back pain and pray for some relief. Your disappointment about Ryan not being home for Mother's Day is completely understandable. It's a special day, and a day you celebrate that the two of you have begun your own family and that you've been blessed with the gift of motherhood. Thankfully you guys are on the road to getting through this challenge, and god-willing you will all celebrate at home together next year. Know that you are a special blessing to he and Aubrey. In this time of trial, you are the glue that has it all sticking together.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone reading this blog would agree that during a difficult time, you have emulated so many traits of a Proverbs 31 woman and are a true blessing to your family as a wife and a mother.
Proverbs 31:
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Oops...one more note I left off of the above... try PREEN on your flower beds. I've heard it works wonders! We are trying it for the first time this year, but others have been using it and say it is wonderful!
