Making His Deeds Known


TWO down, ONE to go!!!! Almost half way done!

Today was a good day! The best was that my big brother took me for my treatment and hung out with me all day! It was good and we didn't even watch tv! We talked all day! And those of you who know me, understand that is my comfort zone! Thank you John! Love you for being there in my time of need! You are the best!
 

I started with my blood draw and I had the same nurse I got the last time, she is a Christian and very sweet! We had a great conversation about how our faith makes all the difference in the world, and how people who don't trust in Christ get through these trials. I love her and pray I get her each time!

On to my doctor's visit and saw several nurses, and Audrey my coordinator, and then an intern who was very nice and encouraging. I had some new questions in which he answered, so I learned some new info. All in all very upbeat and positive visit.

Then on to top floor for my treatment. Had to wait a little but got in and started the process. Nothing different. Takes about 3 1/2 hours. And then we are on our way. This time I had my own private room with a full view of the horseshoe and a TV which we didn't turn on because we just had good conversation. Made the time seem to go quicker.

So now I am home and going to just chill for a couple days, and then I will be back into the flow.

So here are some praises:

I gained a pound!
 
My blood work is great!

I am eating normal food as my pain is subsiding!

I received all smiles from the staff on that last praise!

Dr said that is an indicator chemo is being effective!

I feel a little better this round I believe it's because I have been eating better, due to all the wonderful meals we are receiving from all you awesome cooks!!!!!
You are fattening me up, and that's a good thing!

I also heard some positives on side effects which help me put some anxiousness to rest!

I have received some beautiful gifts from some beautiful people! Thank you from my heart! You have made me feel very loved! Everyone has!




 

To all my awesome prayer warriors, can I just say I hope you all realize how powerful your faith is! God is hearing you and He is going above and beyond what we all can imagine or think! He is faithful! I pray that your faith grows through this as well as mine! I pray He blesses all of you in a major way!

I am thankful to everyone for walking this journey with me! I love you all!

Here is how I would ask you to pray:

That I can continue to eat healthy and gain more weight! I know, not a usual request from a woman!
There will come a time when that will change again when I begin radiation.

For travel safety.

That I continue to stay healthy - I ask if you see me that if you have any doubt about being sick please just keep your distance in order to protect me. I am a hugger and can't resist so I will rely on you to protect.

For continued peace

ThatI will reflect my Jesus!

For total and complete healing physically!

Thank you again!
 
Love, Gigi

 
And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. Isaiah 12:4-5
