I woke up with the predicted symptoms from my very smart, articulate and deeply appreciate primary care "Nurse Jane". She is a God-send, and I am grateful she was assigned to me! I felt nausea (but, kind of like being first pregnant-sorry guys, I know you can't relate) Anyway, when I awoke this morning bright and early, I had rosy cheeks, tingling in my fingers, ringing in my ears, and slight irritation in my eyes. One of the last things that Elisha said to me last night before saying prayers and going to sleep was this: Mom, I know that you just have one cancer cell, and chemo shark is going to put on his night vision and kill it tonight!
A prophet-my son! I receive that word of great encouragement, and we sealed it with a prayer.
Elisha is a very precious part of this journey. Jamie is, too, but his maturity in all this makes my heart well with such love. Jamie and Elisha made me a banner yesterday to be place on a wall called the "Wall of Hope". Family & friends of cancer patients can make these. Elisha did a very amazing portrait of me with the wildest hair imaginable. (he must of used 5 squirt bottles of the fabric paint) He was delighted. Jamie scripted a statement that went like this: "Mom, show cancer who is the boss." I immediately thought of the name of my blog, and CHRIST indeed is triumphant over cancer. He is the boss!
Anyway, for being in a place yesterday that is hospital-like-well, what am I saying it is a hospital, although the Yawkey Center is specific to outpatient care.
I put in a productive day of work. I facilitated literacy groups with my ELL writers most of the morning! It was so good to not be doing the end-of-year administrative work, and just see students and get them to write! That is my passion!
Anyway, I want to assure all my friends and family that I really did okay today. Your prayers are upholding me. God is near.
