Saturday update
A beautiful day here in Monroe, Washington. Yesterday was a pretty tough day. Marilou has been concerned about not working enough hours and losing her medical benefits. The company she works for drops you like a hot potato if you go below your hours. So Marilou thought she would try to work yesterday, but she was too weak to drive, so I took her. (she does in home care with two ladies, one in Monroe here and on in nearby Snohomish)
The whole time she was at her morning ladies place, all she did was sit and sleep, so when I picked her up, that was it. she was done. She spent the rest of the day sleeping. She had a 103 something fever in late afternoon, but that left fairly soon.
She called her supervisor to get some sick days, and find out about getting put on medical leave, but when I got home she could not remember all that her supervisor said, so I will call on Monday.
Today she got up and had an OK breakfast for the past couple weeks, then it was back down to sleep.
We will try to get a very short walk in today just to get a little exercise for her.
The next phase is how to make the cut-backs needed since we will not have her income as before. And of course waiting until Tuesday to hear what the oncologist has to say. Then.... we can take the next step.
Marilou's attitude is very good. She is trusting in the Lord for each step and knows we are in His hands. I'm the one who needs to not let my mind go into all those other places but keep focused on Him, and His ability, His heart and His promises.
Thanks to all for your notes of encouragement and prayers. Marilou and I are greatly encouraged by these precious gems from you.
Thanks,
