Need Some Prayer

I started chemotherapy again the Tuesday before last. It was a very hard week following. I was nauseous and fatigued. I didn’t feel good at all. It was far worse than the previous treatments in terms of after effects. But I made it to the following Tuesday.

That Tuesday, Oct 27, was my birthday. I received the most beautiful cards from Ben, Will, Cate and Debra. Each was so special. I have them here and will put them in a folder for later. I am so fortunate to have a family that loves me.

Then Wednesday rolled around, a week and a day after chemotherapy. My stomach begin to hurt very badly. So badly in fact that I ended up in the ER on Wednesday night with cramps that would just stop me cold.

Seton doctors think it could be a blockage in the small intestine or an infection or, worst case, an adhesion (scar tissue) from my previous surgeries. I got an IV and stopped eating to let the bowel rest and not process any food. I was like that all day Thursday and most of Friday.

I came home Friday night. Doctors recommended a “soft diet” of food that absorbs quickly into the intestines. This includes fish and a few other things. But I am still in a lot of pain.

This is taking a toll on me and my family. We need it to stop. Can you please pray and concentrate on my bowels healing and returning to normal function? I believe we can make a difference, and I am praying and concentrating myself. But more brain power is better. Thank you in advance.
