For some reason, Mom's previous blog was shut down, so we have started this new one.
On May 26, 2015, Mom began her latest round of chemotherapy. These treatments were completed on May 31, 2015. Mom was admitted to Juravinski Hospital with a fever on June 7, 2015. Since that time, Mom has been dealing with high fevers, persistent headaches, pneumonia, weakness, and has had numerous blood and platelet transfusions. She doesn't have any immunity at this time and has been on oxygen for the past few days. Mom has been in isolation (for a hospital bug) during her entire stay.
Mom continues to remain upbeat and optimistic about returning home as soon as possible, while relying on the Lord for strength and peace during this time of weakness.
Please continue to keep Mom and Dad and our family in your prayers and pray specifically for the following:
1. that Mom could experience relief from fevers, headaches and shortness of breath;
2. blessing on the medications;
3. that Mom's blood counts begin to rise, she develops some immunity and regains her strength; and
4. that Mom and Dad will continue to experience God's nearness during this difficult time.
"And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:8
Dear Zwiep family:
ReplyDeleteYou are in our thoughts and prayers, for all that is needed - faith, blessings on the medications and treatments for Elly, and God's nearness during this very difficult time. May each moment be wrapped in the arms of Jesus.
We are very blessed by your continued profession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Glorifying our Lord and Saviour throughout the past years has been a comforting testimony about God, our Creator, Redeemer, Lord and King. May His name be praised forever.
Love and hugs from; Jim and Jennie Antonides
