Wheeeee! Breathing Again!

The folks in radiology removed 1.1 liters from my right lung this afternoon (Monday), and the relief is amazing. I’m so thankful. There’s almost that much fluid also in the left, and we’ll see how that works out. Next: tomorrow, I get my teeth cleaned in the morning and then we start chemo at 2:30 pm. I’m so glad nurse Sue is here with us. She’s wonderfully encouraging and practical.

Could you pray with us about another matter? Sue is about to become a grandmother, which will make me a great grandmother. The timing is being moved up, because Liz (James’ wife) developed pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) which is a threat to both mother and baby. So now, Monday evening, they are stabilizing the blood pressure and after that they’ll decide whether to induce or go to OR for a C-section. James and Liz live in Madison, WI, and of course Sue and Jeff would love to be there! Soon, we hope. We pray for a safe delivery for both Liz and baby, and smooth recovery for Liz and healthy growth for baby.

Thank you again for all your prayers, words of encouragement, and loving thoughts. We love you more than we can say.

Love,
Carol, for Chuck too
