Day 2

Wow, after a calm morning and good talk with Dr. Vazquez, who has suggested John take a low dose of chemo to shrink the tumors, they sent us for an ultra sound. To check the  kidneys for ability to tolerate the chemo.  Very hard on John because he had to drink lots of water, and lay flat on his back.   He is having some pain from  the fluids  traveling  around the body trying to find a place to go.  Even though he is drinking lots of H2O he is dehydrated.  They are putting him on IV fluids and will start the chemo this evening.

He is nauseated and uncomfortable because of extra fluid retention.  They will start  diuretics soon.

We are back in our room now and starting IVs.  Test show he can tolerate the low dose chemo.

Verse for today:

O Lord, You bring death and make alive;
You bring down to the grave and raise up.
You, Lord send poverty and wealth;
You humble and You exalt.
You raise the poor from the dust
   and lift the needy from the ash heap,
To seat them with princes and make them inherit a
   throne of honor.
For the foundations of the earth are Yours, O Lord,
   and You have set the world upon them.
(I Samuel 2:6-8)

ALSO:

Lord, whatever pleases You, You do in the heavens and
    on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.
(Psalm 135:6)

What does this mean to us???

GOD IS SOVEREIGN <HE IS FAITHFUL>WE CAN TRUST HIM

We love you thank you for your prayers...
Mary
