First of all, before I go any further, I want to thank each of you that came to our home last night to pray for me. We both appreciate it so much.
Next, I had to come in today to the Cancer Center because I have a Urinary Tract Infection. I began treatment yesterday and was to continue for one hour today and one hour tomorrow.
However, when I got here today my Doctor saw me sitting in the waiting from of the treatment center and walked over to talk to us because he said that as soon as he saw me, he knew something was wrong. He wasn't here yesterday. He said that I am extremely dehydrated. He also said that my blood count was .07 again and that he was going to admit me. He also asked me what should he do to know that I am sick. I told him that I was just really tired and cold and I don't have an appetite right now. He said that I am opposite of the little boy that cries wolf. He can't know I am sick if I don't call him. He asked me how much pain I was in and I told him none. He said that for me, we are going to have to figure out some way to tell if I am in pain...I told him that my Mom had an extremely high tolerance for pain and maybe I am the same way. He looked at Barry and Barry said she's not a complainer and she really hasn't said anything about hurting, just the mouth sores and no appetite and tired, but we attributed it all to the chemo and anti-body.
Anyway I will be here for 3 or 4 days and during that time they are going to do a CT Scan, he said it would be like a sneak preview of the PET Scan.
I am going to be in a private room as soon as one becomes available. I can't have any fresh fruits, veggies, flowers or anyone sick around me. Well visitors are always appreciated!
Hopefully I will feel like blogging more soon!
The doctor says that once I get re-hydrated and he can take care of the UTI and the mouth sores, I should feel as good as new! Hurray!
Love you all!

Oh Lord Jesus, please be with your daughter Arlene. Please touch her in such a special way, and may she feel Your arms of Love and comfort round about her. Please remind her that you're still in control, and You are always there for her whenever she calls to you. May she rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and may Your perfect peace flood her body and soul. Grant her the patience and strength to go through all that You have in store for her, Father. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

Sister Girlfriend -

resting in psalms 37,
thank you so much for all of your kind comments. I am not sure if I know you or not, but thank you anyway. It is always good to know that people are praying for you.
Dear Arlene, Pray you get over that UTI and your blood count goes up, you are re-hydrated too. once that 's done you 'll feel better. wish i could take some of your pain and discomfort. I too have a high threshold of pain.My aunt Sybil is also a silent sufferer, we have to guess that she is sick.
God is with you Arlene and Barry too.
Dear Arlene,
I'm so sad because of all the pain and illness yore bearing just now.
This was tough news.
I am paying you a visit through my computer all the way from Norway, shearing one of my dearest Bible quotes, God's promise to you:
Hebrew 13:5
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."
The Lord strengthen, lead and comfort you.
A stranger to U Arlene and Barry - but thru Terry and David at pilgrim pals , am aware of your trials --- Eph 1:19 , Hoping that HE GIVES U ENCOURAGEMENT and Arlene , whats best of all is - THAT HE IS ABLE TO DO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WE BELIEVE HIM TO DO , SO MUCH DOES HE LOVE U and has allowed this to come upon U , HE raised HIS SON and HE can raise U -- even now, as a testimony - just be encouraged sister in the LORD --------- passing-thru
Good night Sweet Arlene...There are so many of God's people praying for you and Barry...Love Terry
