For whatever reason, the most likely being I have a preschooler, I have had the "Ten in the Bed" song in my head since Wendy-Woo started her radiation treatments last week! Every day, one gets crossed off the list..."there were 33 in the bed and the little one said, 'roll over, roll over'. So they all rolled over and one fell out...there were 32 in the bed and the little one said..." You get the idea!
So the number tonight... 25!! Only 25 more times Wendy has to lay on that skinny little, hard as a rock table worrying about not falling off! (The radiation room is a super-nice, state of the art facility, but the table she has to lay on during each treatment for 15-20 minutes leaves a little to be desired!) No "comfy" is allowed when the laser placement accuracy is so important!!
So far, things are going well. Wendy met with her radiation oncologist Monday who said she was doing great! There were some questions and discussions about what to possibly expect as things progressed a little further down the road, but we are choosing to believe that our powerful GOD is standing in the gap between Wendy and any possible side effects for as long as possible!
Please continue to pray for:
- the health of Wendy's skin- NO redness, blisters, burns, peeling or sensitivity!
- Wendy's overall health and energy levels! NO fatigue.
- Generally, NO SIDE EFFECTS!
- the stability of Wendy's medication and lab levels.
- Wendy's family as they endure the reality of daily trips to Siteman.
