First Chemo

I love this statement.  But my blessings are so many that it would take mountains of stone to write them all down.  Thank you God for all those blessings.

George had his first chemo treatment on the 19th of September (this past Monday).  He has done wonderful.  He feels great and has had very little side effects.  For about the first 3 days he took the nausea pills sort of as a precaution. 

The main side effect was the when he would have mouth and throat spasms when he drank anything that was cool.  Even though it would be at room temperature, he still got the spasms.  Those lasted for about 3 days and then subsided.  Giving up his morning milk was hard for him.  We bought some instant hot chocolate mix and he added that to his milk and heated it to drink for breakfast.  Thankful he could get his milk in anyway.

Oh my, it is hard to express the words that bubble in my heart of praise for my Heavenly Father.  He has blessed us abundantly.  He continues to bless us and I thank Him.
