Marty coughs less and there are less secretions coming from his lungs. He was only suctioned once today.
This afternoon, Marty was moved from the ICU to the hematology ward. He is still in a room by himself and we still have to gown up, wear gloves and a mask.
Marty's second round of chemotherapy is scheduled to start on Sunday. It will be the same as his first round of chemo; the same chemo drugs and also administered for 3 days.
"On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
Psalm 63: 6-8
What a wonderful text to close today with. Marty-- and all of you who were helping and cheering him on-- sure had a strenuous day liberally laced with joyful accomplishments. Know that your reader is also singing with heartfelt joy at God's mercies!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the updates. We pray that our Father in heaven will continue to grant all of you what you may need to meet the challenges of each day. May the Lord continue to be your rock and stronghold. "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior." 2 Samuel 22:2-3
