Several co-workers from Q's office building showed up at our door shortly after I'd brought her home from the hospital. They were bearing gifts: balloons, assorted baked goods and $2,066 in cash (proceeds from the bake sale they'd just had). Thank you again, ladies, for all of your work and thoughtfulness in putting that together for Susie. We just received a bill of over $1,000 for some out-of-pocket expenses for Q's treatments, so I already know where half of that cash is going for sure.
Q is still kind of "woozy" (that's a medical term. It's kind of like "thing-a-ma-jiggy" is a plumbing term) from all the morphine she has been on. I got permission yesterday from the doctor to turn down the dosage on her pump, so hopefully she will begin to perk up a bit over the weekend before going back on Monday for four days of chemo.
Thanks to all who gave to the bake sale. . . you're very kind.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

So glad that the bake sale was a success. We know first hand how those medical bills can add up very quickly. Hope Susie is doing okay and we are praying for healing during her chemo this week.
