An update from Tim: I had a tough week due to very low energy and mouth sores. It was very hard to eat and talk. I also needed to have my PICC line removed. It was not infected, but it didn’t look good either. Despite all that, we did have a few good things: celebrated a coming baby with some dear friends, made good progress on a project with the help of a very good friend, enjoyed having 5 of the 7 grandkids overnight Friday, got to go swimming for the first time this summer since I didn’t have the PICC line.
My appointment on Wednesday turned into a full day. I ended up having 3 extra tests done in preparation for a possible transplant. Since everything seems to be moving in that direction, it was good to get those out of the way ahead of time.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Patience in the waiting. We wait another 9 days for my appointment in Iowa City. Then we wait 7-10 days for the results of the tests they will do in Iowa City.
For my energy to rebuild. I struggle to get anything done in a day. Even if I do get something done, I feel like I need a nap after I accomplish anything. Even just emptying the dishwasher can totally wipe me out.
PRAISES:
The mouth sores are improving. I am able to talk normal again and food is going better.
