Sharon continues to FIGHT ON. Her mouth and throat continue to be extremely painful, so painful even a sip of water takes great effort. Because her immune system is wiped out there are no white blood cells to fight the battle and repair the damage and so we must wait for her counts to recover. Having no immune system has also give rise to infection and she now has C-Diff which affects the bowels and causes diarrhea and so we deal with that. To top it all off, on Tuesday night she became disoriented and confused and continues to be that way. They think that it is probably a result of the large amount of pain meds she has been on and so we have DC'd most of the pain meds and greatly reduced the amount of Morphine she is receiving and are hopeful that will clear up her mental functions. In the meantime we are having to be with her around the clock to keep her safe. We are hopeful that by the end of the weekend her counts will begin to recover and we will begin to see an improvement in her condition. The Doctors continue to tell us that none of this is unusual and that things will improve.
HE DID SAY IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE! WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH!

Not a moment of the day or night goes by when you are not in my thoughts and prayers!!!!
As your nurse said, "you will walk through the Valley of Shadow of Death", however we know you are being held in the palm of Heavenly Fathers hands every step of the way!!
What Cancer Cannot Do:
It cannot invade the soul, suppress memories, kill friendship, destroy peace, conquer the spirit, shatter hope, cripple love, corrode faith, steal eternal life, or silence courage...
I thought of you when I read this!
Thank you Heavenly Father, for the Miracles we have seen and for the Miracles to come!
Love to Sharon, you and the family!
