We are so grateful for so many well wishes and support from so many friends today. And we really appreciate all of the prayers. Doug has not had any reaction to his Retuximab infusion that he had yesterday. Today was a good day for him. He is feeling well. Today he was up a little more on his own and seems encouraged to keep trying to do a little more.
His Home Health services ended almost 2 weeks ago. He goes to see his Family Practitioner doctor tomorrow. We will ask her opinion for getting physical therapy in the community. I think having physical therapy helps Doug to push himself along. Movement is still hard for him and so it is hard to keep motivated to keep exercising.
We are very excited that Dan, Doug's son and my stepson, is flying up from San Diego on Friday. He is going to stay with Doug so that I can go to Women's Camp for the weekend up in McCall. Doug is really looking forward to seeing him. I am really looking forward to having a few days away. I have not had a break from care giving since last October. I am ready to having a few days to rest, read and recuperate.
We pray:
God who sustains us, we give thanks for small favors. We are thankful that Doug is feeling good and comforted for having received the first Retuximab treatment. And we are so thankful that Dan will be coming for a few days. Be with us now as we discern the next steps of Doug's treatment with his doctor. Guide us to do what is right and will lead to continued healing. In your name we ask it. Amen
