Just not feeling well

Cheryl had a great day yesterday (Saturday 9/18). She cleaned the countertops, sink and stove in the kitchen and transferred a load of laundry from the washer to the dryer while I was out for a Men's Ministry meeting and grocery shopping. Last evening she was experiencing some pain in her right leg so she spent the night with it elevated.

We were hoping that she would feel good enough this morning to go to church but when she got up she was just feeling blah. Her stomach was hurting and she had a headache and general body aches. She is unsure what, if anything else, she can take since she is already taking so many different medicines.

She is grateful for the good days. They help make the bad days more tolerable. We had a good video chat with Michelle and the kids this afternoon and a little later we had a call from Jason. Those are the sort of things that brighten the day.

Tomorrow, Cheryl returns to our GP for another clotting check and possible Coumadin adjustment. We really appreciate our friends and neighbors checking in on Cheryl, running errands and shuttling her to local appointments.

The cards, calls and visits do wonders for her spirits and we continue to covet everyone's prayers for her recovery and our endurance.

  1. I am so thankful for the update. I'm sorry you felt blah today but thankful that you felt good yesterday! Again, I wish we lived closer so I could come and chat a while, pray with you, and help with housework, errands, meals, appointments, etc. I'm so thankful for your circle of friends that are close and are helping. God is so gracious to provide exactly who and what we need. I love you, sister! Know that I am praying daily for you.

  2. I've been looking for an update. I'm glad you're having some good days. I had hoped to stop by but it seems I've come down with a cold. I know you don't want my company now. We do continue to pray every day. Thanks for keeping us posted. Love in Jesus our Savior.
