hard to believe the treatment all started last tuesday. it has gone fast, as the days are busy. i am missing the kids and being home. so keep that in your prayers please that the lord will give me strength. I know it is hard for some of the women that have young children here and i am grateful mine are older. kenzee is a rockstar and sOOOO helpful. it is her golden 21st birthday tomorrow so my heart is sad that i won’t be there to hug her and celebrate her day. she isn’t a big birthday person, but this one will be hard for both of us. prayer requests are for sleep and the bloating. I feel like a rock star in the morning and then it increases as the day goes on. pressure and uncomfortable feeling in my abdomen, wish i could skip dinner! I may talk with the nutritionist, as Intermittent fasting is recommended, we will see what he says. I will probably loose:( tomorrow they are starting me on a natural sleeping combo of melatonin, l Theanine, and magnesium. they said today but did not have it available, which is a big bummer! i love SO MUCH that they prefer the natural choices first, last night they were just out of it! this place is right up my ally, and i love that they have access to the pain meds and other things as patients need them…but it is not where they start! Today my attitude was improved, praise God. my energy felt better also! it seemed like a good day without any new things. coffee enema/ozone, breakfast, oxygen chamber, vitamin c iV of 25 grams, full body hyperthermia * body temp went up to 103. vibe plate and pEMF. matt and i headed to the dentist for an exam and they went over the recommendations. I will go back for a cleaning, fixing a filling. I also have an implant and my gum has receded and they would like to fix that with the Periodontist. we will talk through all of that to determine what we do and do not do! i am more concerned with infections because they can lead to other issues in organs, but that was not the case thankfully. after lunch, i had full body red light therapy and h2 inhaler. then the UVBI and indiba!
I just love ALL of the patients we have met here, hearing everyone’s story and loving each other. that fills my cup. God is so, so good. He cares so deeply for us and desires for us to love him and to be in communion together, being examples of jesus love for us.
it is a joy to see the faith we are surrounded by. it is encouraging and joyful, not filled with fear and dread. cancer carries a spirit of fear, but we say no. we serve a god that heals, jehovah rapha. he is our waymaker when we do not see a way. he is our healer when they say there is NO hope. he is our strength when we can not muster it up on our own. he is our provider, jehovah jirah. he is our protector. he is aLL we need. his love radiates through us to others, if we can take the time to see and listen and move in the ways he is speaking to us through the spirit.
tonight i will close with psalms 91!
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
11 For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”
