5-21-10"This is the start of round 3. I'm becoming old hat at this so, Tammy dropped me off at the treatment room then goes to work. She returned for lunch and also for the trip home. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but it seems a long way off."
Tammy said it was so hard to leave Ted at the oncology center, but he wanted it. Ted is trying hard to not be a burden on anyone. Ted's sister Penny was going to come for this treatment but Ted said he could do it alone. With tears in Tammy's eyes she leaves, Ted is all hooked up and ready to go. The nurses are the most caring and concerned ones Ted/Tammy have ever seen. At the end of each treatment all the patients gets hugs from all the nurses. They are God earth angels Tammy believes.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
5-38-10 1 hour treatment of the 3rd series. "I'm thinking after this treatment I get a week off and then start round 4, YEAH!!! I even think about working the holiday. As it gets closer, I think better. One man makes a joke that Chemo is like Drano-for the body. Whew!!
Pastor Nick and his wife Gretchin hug Ted after church and tell him how many people have him lifted him in prayer. Every time Gretchin leads the praise band in the song -All is Well with My Soul- she thinks about Ted and how God is walking with him during this trail.
Ted has received cards from wonderful Christian friends and Ted/Tammy has put them in a scrapbook. Anza Ritter & Wanda Gerald have kept a supply of ginger candy for Ted which keeping him from taking prescription medicine for nausea. Terri Wood a family friend from West Virgina knitted Ted a pray shawl. She prayed for Ted over every stitch. People in churches from W. Va., N.C., S.C., Ohio, Va., and Ky placed Ted on their pray lists. It is amazing how good God is to them.
