Friday Night

Friday May 23rd
Today was a long day. We knew that Mom would get her second round of chemo this afternoon, but it is 8:00PM and it hasn't started quite yet. This has made for a stressful day of dread and anticipation. Dad and I were trying to keep Mom occupied with small walks and movies in the room, but it just hung over her head and got her a little stressed out I think.
We asked for a medication to calm her nerves and she is now resting peacefully.
Please pray for:

1) Please pray for Mom to have a better round this time and not have all the adverse side effects.
2) Please pray for her peace of mind.
3) Please pray that they are able to keep her nausea at bay.
4) Please pray for every nurse, Dr. and medical staff member that works with Mom for good care.
5) Pray for Dad as this is a LONG time and his sleep will be minimal at best.

We really appreciate you all and your prayers on Mom and Dad's behalf.
One day down, six to go.

With love and appreciation,
Kimberly and family

My dear Deva,
Been thinking of you all day and all night, last night. You are well on your way with round 2 and I agree with my 3 cousins, Jesus is always there and is tending you this very moment. I'm turning in for this Sat. night and will be praying for you before falling asleep. Hope your treatments are being completed easier than last round.
Love U,
Jerry xoxoxoxo
