and that pretty much sums it up. Most days I feel like I don't have any fight left in me. Of course, I know that's not true and if I stay on this path of negativity long enough, it won't be good. But I can't deny that I'm tired. I need a mental health day. A day where I just don't have to think about anything.
Yesterday was undoubtedly one of the longest day of our lives. We spent a grand total of 8 1/2 hours at the oncologists! It wasn't even because Cody got that many hours worth of chemo. Sometimes the nurses can't find a vein, or machines break down, or the nurses get really busy taking care of other patients. Anyway, today has been a lot better.
Cody's feeling pretty good so far with the new drugs and going to the bathroom every 2 hrs is not as crazy as it sounds. But I'm pretty sure Cody's gonna be tired of me telling him to go to the bathroom after this week's over! :)
I met a guy this morning who has pancreatic cancer and after 7 mths of chemo, hasn't lost any hair. So you see, it's possible!
On another note, my dad had a dream a couple days ago that Cody was totally fine. I'm so thankful for all these little tender mercies from heaven that God slips into our lives just when I'm feeling like I can't go on.

For you Amy and Cody from LaVerne Busbee
Out of the daily Bread:
April 29.
The Lamb is my Shepherd.....The Lamb who died for us is the Shepherd who leads us.
He will lead you to the peace you need, He is the prince of peace.
He will give you rest ( Math 11:28 ). So rest in His loving Arms, for He is the lover of your Soul.
Also out of the Daily Bread on April 14
Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the Light.
Remember the Feather He gave you, He is always with you, remember the promises He has given you.
Rest in His promise, that He gave you in the Light, even right now, it appears to be dark, but it only appears to be, you are both Children of the light, and your light is shining bright to us who see your faith walk.
So keep shining and keep trusting.
Lord Jesus, I lift up Your dear Children to you, to give them the rest they need, the healing that can only come from you and your divine power.
We are asking for deliverance from the Cancer and a strong healthy Body for Cody. An extra masher of strength for both. Anoint them with Your Spirit, minister to both of them in time's when there hearts are melting with doubts and fears. Give them also an extra masher of your love and peace. Let Your Holy Fire
burn away all that is not of You, and saturate them with Living Water and cover them with the Blood of Your Son Jesus as there protection
It is in the powerful Name of Jesus that we pray, who is our Healer, our Physician and hiding place
Amen.
Love your Sister in Christ

Just go on auto pilot! It's too much to all take in.
Partners of people in chemo said they took up a hobby they could take with them to the doctors--like knitting. At the end of the process they had beautiful things they created to remind them of beauty during pain.
Some kept them as momentos, others gave them to their nurses, doctors, etc. They said it was a great way to keep your mind in the 'mindless zone.'
