Blessings

We made it through the day!  Thank you so very much for your prayers, and Thank You, Julie, for the phone call.  Even though the nurse was unable to get a blood draw from Bill's port at first, she didn't try different maneuvers today.  Instead she put in a drug that would break up any blood clots.  After a half hour, she got enough blood to begin infusions.  Seven hours later we were on our way home.  I did alot better than last time, too, which was a big plus.  No chest pains for Bill, either!  Horrah!

Last Saturday when the men came to help with yard work, there were a couple jobs that they were unable to do.  Word got around and thanks to Rod, 3 other adults and 17 teens from our church's discipleship group (that's right - 17 !!!!), the job was done in a half hour. It would have taken us until next summer.  What a blessing these teens were.  When they were finished, they all came inside, gathered in a circle and prayed for Bill and us.  That was very moving. 

Blessings abounded today - Thank You, Jesus!
