7 is the number, and the number shall be 7...;

7 it is. Blood chemistry + decreased kidney function + shallow breathing were the stop signs.

So, now more demerol this go 'round. w00t!

Today was a tough day. Prolly the worst yet. I'll spare details, but just know it was yucky on many levels.

Thanks for interceding for is today...it was badly needed, and is greatly appreciated! Now the immediate prayer is for quick & symptom reversal. (fluid wt loss, skin to no not itch so bad, sleep to regulate itself, etc.)

Then, you could pray that we can leace sooner. Saturday would be great...Suday too.

Of course, don't forget the huge prayer request...on August 19, Dr. H. tells me I'm cancer free.

With much love and great hope,
Mike

Seven is a good number, yes? I say it is. Praying real hard for the drugs to back off quickly and let you get back to normal. Praying for safe trip home, too. Love, Kristen

7 is the number of completion and rest. It's a great number. It's some bad stuff you've gone through, but there's glory in the end.

You are in our prayers.
