6-9-16 TYL. Today after my blood draw, I talked with the doctor about why he wanted me to stop treatments for the next three months. He reminded me that I have been taking treatments for about 11 months and have had 4 scans. Since there was little signs of change he wanted to make sure the “plan of attack” was still the right one. I know, even though I hadn’t stopped doing the things I felt was necessary in my life, I felt drained and was becoming irritable. I didn’t want to be around or socialize with people once I finished work. Sometimes I know if I didn’t have to feed Chris, I wouldn’t eat. The doctor said he would like to credit the treatments for keeping me going, but he would like to see how I do without them. He added, I believe there is more at work here, as he pointed to up. I told him I know it is the Lord. TYL, it is good to see the doctor admit that the Lord is in control. (Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes. 1 Samuel 12:16)
I did not feel much different during the month, but TYL I was not on treatments. 6-21-16 Chris had to go to the hospital. I started that morning like normal, but when I went to get him up he was limp, cold, clammy and unresponsive. As I drove to the hospital I talked with the Lord, “Lord I know you have given us more time together than the doctors had said, but Mom is out of town and I don’t want to go through this right now”. We got to the emergency room and I called my brother.
(Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: James 5:14)

Chris had a bad case of diarrhea which caused him to be dehydrated. The dehydration is what caused him to  be limp, cold, clammy and unresponsive. We were in the hospital from the 21 through the 27. I was glad I was not on treatments since I stayed with him most of the time and the chair/bed I had was not really comfortable. TYL for helping me stay focused and use this time to pray and witness about this journey.
