Mom went to have her port checked on Friday at Community North. The doctor told her that everything looked fine and that she was healing well from her port surgery.
After that appointment, mom decided to stop by the cancer center to ask about some other options to control her acid reflux. The gas that she'd been having did get a little better; however, the acid reflux was worse. She did have a lot of trouble eating anything on Thursday and Friday. The doctor gave her a prescription for the acid reflux, but did suggest trying Pepcid AC first. Thankfully the Pepcid AC has been working. Mom has felt great since she started taking the Pepcid AC. She's been able to eat without worry. Yesterday she even got to get some ice cream at Dairy Queen. :)
On another note, mom had a surprising phone call from her pastor yesterday. Last Wednesday, mom and I met with her pastor to talk about her journey with God. I can say that this was a part of God's timing, because he asked to share some of her story during his Sunday message. Wow, huh?
Today, we went to hear his message. He was speaking about the what the kids at their VBS had been learning about God. The big message was about how we are to not fear, for God is always with us. They learned this through the story of how God used Moses to save the Israelites from their captivity under Pharaoh. He also relayed how God is with us during all our "plagues" or challenges in life and how each one gives God an opportunity to show himself to us and bring us closer to him.
After the service, we were able to enjoy a wonderful breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Mom was excited to eat eggs and bacon. She's planning to on eating more later today and finishing the night with ice cream again. :)
For our family, we believe that this cancer is another opportunity for us to share what God is doing. We have been encouraged that mom's journey is already being used to spur others on. We pray that we will continue to be aware of what God is doing in our lives and the lives of those around us.
