A Great Friday

Friday was a doctor appt for me which I almost forgot, and then a delivery to Lebanon area. I got back by 11:30 or so and found Adele already doing household chores and eating. We had lunch, where she forced a 1/2 sandwich and had yogurt. She is a bit on the light side now and says she wants to gain weight now to build up for later, where she might not feel so much like eating, and possibly will need boost or something like that.

We had a quiet afternoon, and she had a shower (had to wait 24 hours because of yesterday's bleeding) around 3, and then we drove to Harrisburg for a G-Kids visit. We went to Mason's Taekwondo and watched him perform all his moves. Video at YouTube - rstauffer43's Channel so you can all see how he did.

We got home a bit late, but Adele wanted to relax with the Olympics, so we watched them until about 11 pm. She is starting on a new med, that is supposed to help her sleep, and it seems to work well. A mood stabilizer, as Dr Camerino put it. One a day, 3 hours before bed, so it is easy to get the right dosage. It is 9 AM Saturday and she is still sleeping. Just checked her and she is still out for the count. Great to be able to get a full night's sleep after so many restless nights that she has had. This could do wonders for her.

We also (again) talked about trying to see more of God's planning in everything that happens. She is getting very anxious every time something happens that she has not thought about, like the bleeding during the biopsy. She went on and on about how disappointed she was in herself (for taking aspirin) etc, etc. Friday we talked about seeing the good points in everything and she seems to be much better about the process on Thursday.

I know God's hand is in everything we are doing and helping guide the doctors and nurses we meet as we journey this path. He has never left us, and will help us get this done. Thanks be to the Lord for His help. I pray constantly "Thank You Lord for what You have done today, and Thank You Lord for what You will do tomorrow!" I am never sure how a day will be, tests made or not made, diagnosis - good or bad, He is helping us in all of this.

Pray for Peace as always, and a smooth week next week. Not much in the doctors visits next week. G-Kids here Friday night and Saturday, with them needing to be home Sat evening for Sunday church. We think the Science Factory would be a good field trip for them.
