I have been thinking all day about a post sharing some of the many miracles already experienced by our family, but I am tired. Emma is tired. The first night was a rough experience. She was sick all night long from the chemo and part of the morning. I was very surprised that the chemo affected her body so quickly. We called the Dr. and they added another medication to hopefully help combat the nausea and vomiting. She was only able to keep down a few liquids today, and so we are watching for dehydration. She sleeps soundly now beside me. I'm thankful that she can rest. I will save sharing the miracles until the morning. They are stories meant to encourage. They are a beautiful testament to God's faithfulness and love. Until tomorrow, I am resting in this promise tonight:
Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads.
I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Thinking and praying for you constantly. May God give you the rest you both so deserve!

Emma, Praying for rest, peace and strength for you and your family today. Praying that today you are able to keep food and liquids down.
ReplyDeleteEmma, Lily (4 years old) has become your little prayer warrior. We pray for you several times a day and Lily is constantly asking how you are doing, followed by will she see you in church? When I explained to her that the lymphoma cells in your body are growing too big too fast, she even came up with a solution. "Mamma, the doctor should open her up, cut out the bad stuff, and plant it in the garden so it can grow crazy there." We continue to pray for your quick healing and strength. We also pray for your family during this time. Tina, Erik, Lily, and Elise Petersen
