Beautiful day

It's a beautiful day and Lee Anne and I are planning on going for a walk/wheel chair in the park soon. Lee Anne loves to see the new green buds burst forth from the trees in spring time, her favourite season. She's had me out in the garden many times in early winter planting bulbs in the dark just before the ground froze. This is characteristic of her gift for planning beautiful things for the future.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.

That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God."

Ecc 3:11-13

Although very tired, Lee's also been able to keep her fluids down so far today. She likes blue freezie's. The NG tube was also switched yesterday from continuous suction to gravity drain. These are good signs in terms of Lee Anne's comfort.

Tonight, we're also looking forward to seeing Kathryn, Lee Anne's sister who's flying in from Germany today.

3:10pm - Lee did go for a walk with two friends that came by. She was happy to be unteathered for a while. She's now eating some homemade chicken soup and Cheerio's. Please pray that she can keep it down.

3:40pm - Lee Anne is on a lot of antinausea and pain medication but the doctor just saw Lee Anne and said that she is going to wean Lee Anne off IV and switch to the pill form for one of them. Although the situation could change I'm encouraged that we're moving in the right direction. Please continue to pray for her bowels to free themselves from the cancer so they can work again. She's sleeping peacefully now.

8:00pm - our oncologist dropped in to see us and said that "Lee Anne is doing very well". Although it's early days there was even talk of the possibility of "going home" for a few hours or even a day.
