It's that time again. 3 weeks have just flown by and it's chemo time. Tom and I saw my oncologist yesterday and blood counts are up to par, so we were good to go. But, once again, they have no bed for me. So here I sit, at 11:45 am the next day waiting for the phone to ring to let me know if I can come down. We're going to have to talk to my doctor about a different method of admitting me because this waiting is incredibly frustrating - for me, Tom and the kids. But I have a feeling this is how the "system" here works.
Please keep me in your prayers this time that the nausea and fatigue can be minimized again. Also, I ask that you keep Kurtis in your prayers as well. He's having a hard time with me going to the hospital. On Monday night, he prayed "that there won't be a bed available" as he didn't want me to go to the hospital (and yes, he believes very strongly in the power of prayer now). His biggest challenge is bedtime as we have a routine that seems to be very important to him. So we're going to try "tucking in" over the phone and see how that goes.

Hi Annette, As Lisa says, "Hope you are there and comfy." Oh, and by the way, Happy Half-Birthday!!! (Lisa, Happy Whole Birthday!)We will continue to surround you... and Tom and the children in prayer. The home life routine is so important for all involved. I can appreciate Kurtis not wanting a bed to be available for you. Dear child! Love, Alice
Sending you lots of prayers! I can only imagine how frustrating that must be to "not have a bed" and then you have to sit and wait by the phone! Sending extra prayers for all of you during this time.
