Indigestion & Chest Pains

Its been a harrowing past 48 hrs.

Jo's hardly been eating cos' of the pain and gas that comes after every simple meal. Even though she's been chewing and taking in food really slowly, it causes severe indigestion and most recently, chest pains.

We'll see the doc on Monday asap to see what can be done.

She was just well enough to get out for awhile just an hour ago and she wanted so badly to go to the Melbourne food & wine festival at Duxton Hill...so we went. Unfortunately, most of it was closed by the time we got there...how sad. :(

As for now, she'll have to stick to a liquid diet till the effects wear off - taking Ensure (nutritional powder formula for Cancer patients) and soup perhaps.

Please pray for the pain and indigestion to go away. She's been resting alot already and I figure its probably the tumour in the left liver causing all this. The pain from the Spine has since gone and she can cough & sneeze without discomfort, Amen!

Dear Jo and Alex,

You are both in our prayers.

Our little Rachel was admitted to KKSH last Thursday nite having contracted viral meningitis, and Thanks to God she's much better and may be discharged tomorrow. But it was a scary and a tough emotional time for us during these few days, so we do feel a lot for you both, having to endure for such a long time.

Be strong. I am sure the doctor will prescribe the right medication, and Jo will be back enjoying her food.

Take care

Eric & Tracy
