Tonite

Jo told me just a few hours ago that she wasn't feeling good at all. In fact she was depressed...really depressed. She poured out all that was on her mind... She hasn't been eating or sleeping well. Nausea, bloatedness and aches all over. Watching TV, reading or eating doesn't even excite her anymore...restlessness... In essence her quality of life has deterioratated.

She said that she just looks forward to the end of day, so that she can sleep...sleep it all off.

And it doesn't help when the evil one lurks and puts stupid thoughts in her mind. And so I prayed fervently in Jesus name to cast out every evil influence in whatever form upon her. Mark 16:17 states that we have power over demons and the evil one.

It's easy for me to say that God demands Jo's fullest attention at this point...yet I know she's been praying unceasingly for His will to be done. So what does God want of her at this time? But perhaps to continue living in FULL faith knowing that He is our only Hope. No "answers" will answer all our questions, or take us through life's hard times. However I've learned a little gem from "Bruised But Not Broken" (Stanley Baldwin, Multnomah Press 1985) that "It is not what we know but whom we know that is critical to our survival. It is Christ who is our Rock. It is in Christ we can do all things."

Tomorrow
We will see Dr Leong tomorrow morning for the usual check up. If her blood test results are fine, then she'll be taking the next round of Avastin treatment either the same day if not on Thursday.

Admission to SGH
Jo wants to be admitted to SGH for the treatment just in case the side effects return. She'll probably be warded for 2-3 days pending nothing serious happens post treatment. We'll most likely be @ Ward 78. We'll keep you posted on developments.

It depresses me too... especially after reading tonight's blog...

You MUST ALWAYS keep your mind occupied with POSITIVE thoughts, with your faith guiding you, supporting you, always at the back of your mind. Don't you ever dare let any pessimism creep into your thoughts at all!

... Am at loss for words to express more... but will be all ears and company if you ever need any.

Hi, saw your blog on someone else's blog. Decided to check out. Don't know if you have heard of this book, "SAM: A Mother's Journey of Faith" by a local lady, who wrote about her son's illness and how they went through it together. really encouraging, can get it @ MPH.

Like JK, I have nothing to say.

I will, however, pray.
