Biz: great babysitter

Saturday, May 24, 2008

Good night, prayers answered (and still needed)

Thank you for praying; Biz is feeling much better! She slept all day yesterday and most of the night, only waking up because she was hungry. She ate two bowls of chicken noodle soup and some string cheese. Deb thinks the biggest problem was that Biz was over-medicated with anti-nausea drugs (she couldn't even remember yesterday when she woke up!). During the day yesterday Deb began to "interfere" a bit with the medications (anti-nausea, not chemo), knowing how poorly Biz did when they gave her morphine after surgery. She asked the nurses if they could start with half-doses and see where that led. There was a marked improvement after that and, except for a short time this morning (just before her next dose), Biz has been feeling well. If she continues to feel well, they'll discharge her tonight.
Then we begin to pray for her blood counts and safety from infection.

How curious. No comments. I know that everyone is still watching and praying. Is this a collective holding of the breath in anticipation?

Waiting and watching to see God's immeasurable goodness, grace, mercy, loving kindness and more than we can imagine.

Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

Let's claim this promise for Biz and wait on the Lord!
