Getting ready for Christmas

Hello all:
I had my ERCP Monday and for the most part (except a fever that night and felt flu-like yesterday afternoon) I feel good. I am just trying to get a huge start on gifts so I am not rushing around late Dec. Kid's are doing well but Tyler is coming down with a cold and not feeling well. We all know what 2 years olds are like when their sick? Bingo!

I am ready to move forward out of this stent chapter in my life and have some smooth sailing for a while. I do not have to have another procedure done for 8 weeks and plan on having a great christmas and new year!!! I was supossed to get chemo but I postponed it till Mon. for a few days of recovery.

Thank you those of you who have been bringing food. It is a huge blessing.

Romans 15:4
Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

This was in my Beth Moore devotional.

It focused on God's usual healing method is the daily process of teaching us to walk with him.

Hi Val,
I want to share something with you. I lost my travel drive for my computer with many very important work files on it. I tore my home office up, looked everywhere but couldn't find it. I prayed that I would find it. This was about a month ago. Last night my three year old wanted to watch a DVD that he hadn't watched in many weeks. I opened the case and no DVD, but guess what was in there? My travel drive! I know this is such a triveal example compared to what you are dealing with, but the bottom line is: God answers prayers in His time, not ours. So even though the healing is not coming as fast as we'd ALL like, it is coming. God will answer this prayer that you are healed, and we'll all be a thousand times happier than I was last night. I think of you every day and am praying for peace, comfort and healing for you and your family.

Val,

I can't wait to see you Saturday morning!!!!!!!

It seems like it has been soooo long since I have seen you even though I was there in September.

I pray that you are feeling better and that if you get your chemo today that it goes well. I want you to get better and pray for you everyday.

Remember we are all here for you!

I miss you & I can't wait to see you :)
