Stitches and Stuff

Thank you for agreeing in prayer with us this past Tues. about the possible infection in Ted's port. We went in to see Dr. White - who put his port in - and he stitched the hole up right there in the office. We are keeping an eye on it for a week, along with antibiotics, to make sure it heals and shows signs of improvement . Next Tues. we will see Dr. White again and if there is no positive change, then he will remove it and put it into the other side. So we are still praying that God will heal this because, right now, Ted's body can't do it on it's own...

Tomorrow (Fri) we will go get Ted's first PET scan since he has started the chemo. I don't want to get my hopes up b/c Lymphoma is a slower cancer to kill... but I'm excited to see how the cancer is responding to the chemo! Poor Ted is pretty exhausted this week - with the extra doctor visits (3 of them), he hasn't been able to lay around and rest like he has in the past. But thank the Lord, all things considered, he's doing really well right now ... and so am I.


I'm, as always, so VERY thankful for each of you.

  1. we will definately keep praying for the possible infection to heal, the antibiotics to work and that God will heal the area around the port. Also, tomorrow during the PET Scan, we'll be anxious to hear what you find out.

  3. We continue to pray for all of you each day. Thank you for being so open in sharing how we can specifically pray for Ted. I know that the Lord is giving you an abundance of strength that could only come from Him! This will all be to His glory and His honor. Please call on us if there is something that you need.
