ER Visit

Hello All,

Mom gave us quite the scare this weekend, but is back home resting now. On Sabbath afternoon, she started to get a sharp pain in her upper left back area. On a scale of 0-10, she measured it to be a 15 at one point. After trying breathing techniques, pain medication, and resting the pain persisted. They decided to go to the ER in Seattle where she will be receiving treatment for the cancer, in case it was related. The doctors said they were ruling out two things: blood clot and fluid around the lungs. This required a CT, which then required an overnight stay in the hospital due to mom having a consistent reaction to CT contrast. They put her on reaction protocol through the night and she had the CT scan at 2pm today.  The results were negative, no blood clot and no fluid around the lung. Good News! No one could say what exactly the pain was, which is still concerning, but after receiving pain medication and being monitored, she was cleared to go home and said she is feeling better. I just got off the phone with her after they got home and she was in good spirits, grateful that there were no signs of a blood clot. She stated, “God just allowed perfect timing throughout this whole thing. And I know He will continue to do so in my treatment.” She’s one of the only people I know who can spend the night in the ER and find a sliver lining. Praise God!

Hopefully, this week we will get word that everything has been approve and she will start the targeted therapy medication soon. Keep praying!

We continue to pray for her healing and that God will comfort her and continue to allow for His perfect timing. Thank you for all your care, love, prayer, and support.

    A WING AND A PRAYER

    Under the wing of an angel, we feel protected
    Through prayers to God, we feel connected

    Peace is said to be offered on the wings of a dove
    Prayers can bring peace along with hope,faith, and love

    Wings of a jet plane provides steady flight
    I pray you remain steady and strong through this fight

    Butterflies have wings to fly playfully free
    And free from monsters is what I pray you’ll soon be

    Birds spread their wings as they may leave their nest
    We’re spreading our prayers that you’ll always be Blessed

    Go fight and win this battle you didn’t start
    On the wings of an angel and prayers from my heart
