Things seem calmer this weekend. Nancy is more relaxed and is sleeping better. She is totally off pain meds these days, and is stronger, breathes easier, and moves a bit more freely. But her heartbeat remains accelerated. A cause for concern as it tends to tire her very quickly.
We have a cardiologist's appointment on Wednesday. Hopefully, he will confirm that her heart issues stem from a response to chemo. All too often our hearts become impatient, but each day holds the sweetness of life together with someone you love. So, we hold on, enjoying simple things like eating Chinese take away, watching a Phillies win, and preparing WHM budget narrative forms. Surely waiting to get better, living in this sense of confinement and limitation is a form of suffering, a place to know HIS strength in the face of our weakness---may we find HIS glory along this narrow path.

Dan and Nancy,
Daryl and I would like to share a verse with you that has been an encouragement to us lately. It's so easy to remember that you don't even have to 'memorize' it - that's what we like about it!
Ex. 33:14 "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
May you be blessed by that thought over and over again today.
With love and prayers, Carol and Daryl; South Africa
