"This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it!" Psalm 118:24Ok, so yesterday I went to clinic and they ordered 1 last x-ray before we leave. Just one of the final details we have to get done before we get to leave on Monday. This morning we had Speech therapy and when we got back I got to go love on Jerry (the house dog). While I was enjoying love from Jerry, mommy got a phone call from the Doctor. They say my CSA level was a little off ( no big deal ) and that my x-ray showed I have fluid building around my heart. Mommy thought the room was spinning... ok, we know the Lord is in control and He gives strength when we need it. Now we know that there are a couple BMT kids that have had this lately, including Tori ( that is what put her in the hospital a couple weeks back... she is doing good now :) and it can be a side effect of the chemo. It can be no big deal and go away on it's own or can increase and be severe. I have an Echo scheduled for Friday at 10:00am to see how severe the fluid is and if it is increasing. Please pray!! Pray for peace while we wait for our news and mainly pray for my little body as it continues to heal from this horrible process that God has turned for good. We are not sure yet if this will delay our departure but we do have a few more appointments on Monday and we will see then. Thank you all for being here for my family and I ... it brings much peace to know we have family and friends following our journey and lifting us up in prayer.
May God bless your evening,
Josiah and family

ReplyDeleteSi, we are praying that things have changed for the better when they check your heart again. I can imagine how scaring this is for your mom and dad. We are praying.
