Dear friends and family,
It’s now been about a week since I was finally released from the hospital. The first few days home I was feeling very good, had good energy, etc. I think I pushed myself a bit too hard and wore myself out. I’m in the middle of a major immune low at this point. My white cells (and red cells) are very low. I’m taking all kinds of supplements to try to boost my immune system and to help my body fight off the cancer.
It’s hard to believe that at the end of February I was feeling very good. Over the next month, I would spend about 3 weeks in the hospital. For now, I’ve been cooped up in my bedroom, getting rest, and trying to do stretches, to strengthen my legs. I can get up and walk around (to the bathroom, shower, etc) but it’s exhausting, and I definitely need help getting out.
In the hospital, I had my belly drained several times, each time removing between 3 and 4 liters of fluid each time. Once I got home I was able to make it about a week (instead of 3 days) before needing to be drained again.
Still praying for you, kiddos and Jacob. God has this.
Oh, Rebecca! Please you are in my prayers. And, I’m here if you need anything.
Believing for complete healing in Jesus Christ Mighty & Holy Name!!! Sending love and good thoughts!!!
