Low key
24 Apr
I could tell I was more run down today. I just felt more low key all day. As the nurses say my
” Nader” is tomorrow, which is when my counts should be the lowest as it is week out from my last chemo dose. I didn’t leave the house today. Had a play date with Kendall and Vance, and enjoyed a good visit with the Siegferth’s. Jeananne dropped of the benefits from the Zumba fiesta Saturday. Our family is extremely blessed by so many people’s love and generosity. Thank you! The remainder of the day consisted of a cat nap, play, dinner and bath. I am blown away at how time passes so quickly.
We see Dr. Petrus tomorrow.
“the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” Psalm 37:23-24
I know I need to be continually held and carried through each day.
You can’t be super woman all the time – your body is telling you to stop, rest, nap, restore. Praying for Dr. Petrus, for wisdom from him and for you both as well. Praying that as these counts are this low, that you will be protected from illness and your strength will renew. Love you, Allie!
Hey Allie- I don’t know if you know who I am … but in case you don’t …its “Matt’s girlfriend”
Anyways- I have been praying for you and your sweet little girls and for Adam as well. As I have been reading your blog, I have just been thinking so much of my own parents. I know you are probably SICK of hearing about other people’s ‘journey’ in comparison to yours…but I just think you are so right when you talk about not loving how you get to spend more time with your husband…and yet you enjoy the time all the same. My mom has been battling a chronic disease since I was very young..and my parents always joke that their trips to the hospital are “dates” and they have decided to love them. I have just loved watching them take the situation Christ has given them and allow His joy to grow their relationship…and I think you and Adam are doing the same thing & I really admire you!….ANYHOW I will shush now. – I don’t know if this even makes sense…but I just wanted to share. 
Praying for you, peace, strength and restoration of health.
