Chem Day 3 - I think

Well, he's sick again. Since his chemo is only 75% of what he got last time, maybe he'll get better sooner, or maybe not as sick. He does have the pump again...did I already tell you that? Sam & Sara are having a tough time, this time around. I am too, I think John is too. Don't know why, it just is so hard to see him getting so sick. I have to tell you the story about the recliner we bought John -

Lazy Boy was having a sale so we decided that we should just bite the bullet and get him a really nice chair for dealing with the after effects of chemo this time. Last time he was pretty much stuck in bed...he may end up there again, but now he has an option, a beautiful LEATHER Lazy Boy recliner... Thanks Grama July for buying this for him :). Our dear friends & co-workers Peter & Terry went to pick up the chair for us so we wouldn't have to wait for the delivery. While they were getting ready to load it into Terry's truck, Terry noticed a very VERY small rip on the chair - it was on the bottom at the leg area - I would have NEVER seen that... Probably wouldn't have even thought to look. Anyway, Terry & Peter called and we decided that I couldn't pay all that money and then have a brand new chair with a flaw. So, the guys at Lazy Boy went to see if they had another one, which they didn't and so I was COMPLETELY bummed. We would have to wait 7 weeks for the new chair to come. Well, our sales guy Steve, got on the phone and got his bosses to GIVE us the chair now, so John could have it right away and they will swap it out with the brand new flawless chair when it comes in. I was really overwhelmed by that kindness - there was lots of kindness that day - Terry & Peter schlepping the chair for us; Terry's 50 year old eyes (it was his b-day the day they picked it up) and his diligence in inspecting the chair; the wonderful people at Lazy Boy who really went above and beyond. I know that Lazy Boy is a very good company, but they were just so sweet to us. That just made my day. It is amazing how very much we are loved by the people we know, but even more is the flawless, perfect love of our Father in Heaven for orchestrating all of this so that John could be a little more comfortable right away. Whoever wonders if there is a God, or that all this kindness is mere coincidence, is CRAZY!! We serve a faithful perfect God who loves us so much that he moves the hearts of chair people to make John a little more comfortable.

We're just taking one step at a time, putting one foot in front of the other and walking this road as best we can. Thanks to everyone who's been leaving messages on my cell and on this site. It means the world to me.

You have probably noticed I have opened the blog to everyone...We figure, the more prayers the better.

Just keep praying. Not sure what to ask for; that John not be sick for long, that he will regain his hope in his outcome and that even during this nightmare that the Baxter's will glorify God who is Mighty to Save!
