Debbie came home from the hospital on Tuesday evening. It was a long seven days. The things that we accomplished were the insertion of the stint in her ureter and the first chemotherapy treatment last Saturday evening.
When we left the hospital Debbie was still having a hard time ingesting food and eliminating food. When we left she had not eliminated food on her own in seven days. She was bloated and in a great deal of pain. There was very little sound of digestion in her stomach.
On Thursday evening we started Debbie on a clear liquid died. We also started rotating Debbie from one side to the other and even had her lay on her stomach. Yesterday morning somewhere between 3:00am-4:00am, she started eliminating food without any assistance for the first time in nine days. Debbie and I had a praise service. Thank you for your prayers and we thank God especially for those that He used to give us wise counsel about her needs.
Debbie has not had any pain medication since Wednesday night. She still battles nausia which could be a symptom from the chemotherapy or from the disease. Pray for peace and healing for Debbie's stomach so that she can begin to eat foods with more substance than broth and juice.
God has sent so many people to us just when we needed some direction or a word of encouragement. We cannot thank all of you personally at this time so please accept this as our sincere appreciation for your love for us.
Debbie woke up singing this morning. My heart was filled with joy as I listened to her express her love for the Lord.
