God is working in me.

Wednesday
August 25, 2010

I think I am beginning to come to terms with all of this. I am feeling better and feel I that God has His Hands in this. We must believe this because without Him, we could never make it. How do people do this without knowing Jesus?

We met with all of the docs today and we felt much better when we left. They are telling us everything and not leaving anything out. It is very frightening. They admitted that they are not sure of the outcome and that this going to be one of the toughest battles we have ever faced. They were very kind, honest and caring. They truly consider my well being and will not leave one stone unturned. I think I have changed my attitude, Thank you Heavenly Father. We left feeling that we can possibly do this. At least we are going to let the docs be in charge and not fight them. In other words, we have gained a great deal of confidence in them. Besides it is God's Hands anyway.

We go to the clinic every morning at 7:30am for antibiotics, SPA treatments, bloodwork and anything else they can think of. The nurses are great and very kind, the chairs are comfortable and I started a cross stitching project. Not my favorite form of needle point but it's easy and there are many patterns to choose from. Don't be surprised if everyone gets one for Christmas, another project is a Bible Crossword Puzzle Book, and of course my computer, cards with Steve, and a little nap. We take our own lunch so its a warped sort of picnic. This is supposed to go on for the next 4 weeks, then who knows. I still don't like sitting on my fanny that long every day.

Besides all those IVs, we come home and do 3 more IVs each day. Steve is very good at it, a bit anal, but very thorough. This will also go on for the next 4 weeks.

There is a beautiful park with an amazing garden and an incredible Natural History Museum, I want so much to visit both real soon. There is really a lot of things here, I hope & pray that we can take time to visit and relax some.

Great News! We got an apartment, its very nice with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, modern large kitchen, lots of windows and a nice quiet location. It won't be available until the 15th of September, but apartments such as this one are difficult to get. Once again Steve used his charm and persistent personality to get what we wanted. He is so awesome. Now Rob can come visit soon and possibly my good friend Kim and of course Mom. I am very relieved and will be happy ONCE again make nest.

I hope this blog lifts every ones spirits. I know all your prayers are at work and being heard by our Lord. I still have so much to ask for from Him. Thank you all for reading and commenting on my blog, we will never be able to tell you all what it means to us. At least we are not alone in prayers and love.

Forever Needy in Prayer,
Love to all
Steve & Steph

  1. Steff,
    I am so happy you are feeling better about everything. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers at all times. We started a new Bible study tonight which is going to be exciting and a challenge, as we are going to cover the entire bible. It has been 30 years since I have done so. Anyway, we put you on our prayer list there and lifted you up in prayer tonight.

    I am so excited you found an apartment. We women love to nest. It will be so nice to have the room to have family and friends visit. I tried to call you today on your cell phone but it hung up after 2 rings. I would love to visit with you. Should I call Steves phone?

    I hope your mom is doing well. When you get a new address please forward to me so I can write you.

    Steff if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

    Lots of love,

    Karen

  2. Hi Steph, Sounds like things are going well and you are starting to settle in. My plan is to come out Sept 18-25. We are all still thinking of you all the time.
