back to the bottom

it has been another rough weekend, with james not feeling well. he was doing so great, actually feeling great for about a month and a half. but while outside, he reacted to a wasp that flew towards him, and it really sent his back out of whack. and when that is bad everything else is bad.

he hasn't been sleeping much at all, because he is unable to sit or lay down without intense nerve pain shooting down his left leg. he describes it as 'being on fire' and there is no suffering through it.

today we spent the morning in the ER, trying to get some relief, but he is such a complex case, that no one who doesn't know all the ins and outs of his cancer is willing to do anything except give him a shot of narcotics. not that he isn't on enough drugs already...

so last night and today he's spent most of his time on his crutches, falling asleep standing up. this always makes me nervous because if he fell he would hurt himself much worse. so now, at 4pm, he is finally getting some rest. he isn't laying in bed, but he seems to have found an okay position to kneel in to close his eyes and recover.

it is hard to get anything accomplished with life or work during times like this, but we continue to have such a strong support group around us, helping with meals and kids. hopefully i will be able to get caught up with work one of these days, i really hate not being on top of things for my clients. but in the grand scheme of things, it is all about helping james make it through one more day, and providing the peace and love that our kids need through it all.

thank you for your continued prayers and support.
we are humbled and encouraged daily.
