Day 1

John woke up with pain this am.   They have gotten that under control.  They have put the port in successfully!!  This was tricky because he is in the most pain when he lays down flat...which needed to be done to put the port in.  The doctor thought  we may need to go to the operating room for this process but tried outpatient first.  After putting it in, the Dr. said, "We were very lucky",  Johns reply was, " no we are very blessed".
Another Dr. was just in and checking Johns lungs, has found fluid in his lower left lung.  He has ordered and X ray.
They have started his first Port drips and we are in our room resting.

The breakfast was wonderful...homemade Yogurt, granola, different fresh made juices, fresh baked breads, eggs to order, served in a beautiful little dinning room with other people and companions here for treatment.

There is a garden terrace on top of the clinic that has recliners and chairs to get some sun and fresh air.  They also have exercise equipment up there for patients and others. Lots of beautiful foliage.

My verse for today,

O God, You are the One who gives endurance and encouragement: grant that we be of the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord and one mouth we may glorify You, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 15:5-6)

We love you all and feel blessed to have you as friends and family praying, encouraging and helping us in our journey.  Please know we are grateful and humbled by your out pouring of love, blessings and prayers.

In His Arms,
Mary
