Standing on the Promises

Hello Everyone! You have not heard from me in awhile but I try to let Leah blog if she is up to it. I did tell her I would when she couldn't. Here is an update. Leah is slowly improving. As chemo. always does the condition can change from minute to minute. One fine the next not feeling well. The last 2 treatments have been very difficult and it is taking longer for her to start feeling better. She has been in lots of pain and as mom mentioned earlier she ended up in the ER. She is taking some new meds. to try and help. As with all medications it is trial and error. Some meds. over time have to have the dosage changed or the medication is not as effective and you have to try and figure out what is going to work best. There are side effects that the medication causes and the side effects of chemo. It all make one very sick and weak. Also, as the chemo. continues the symptoms get worse.

I can say through it all God has still protected her. She has not had to have any shots and they thought she would have to. That is usually the normal thing. If that were to happen it would get very bad. That is something to be thankful for.

I have been helping her with the medication and trying to figure out what is working and going to relieve the pain and get her on the road to recovery. She is starting to improve. She is still in pain but it seems to be under control more than it was. Thank you Jesus. I know that you will continue to lift her up in prayer.

Here is a song I thought I would share. It has been on my mind the past few days.

Jesus is the Answer

If You Have Some Questions In The Corners Of Your Mind
And Traces Of Discouragement And Peace You Cannot Find
Reflections Of The Past, They Seem To Face You Everyday
There's One Thing I Know For Sure That Jesus Is The Way

Jesus Is The Answer For The World Today
Above Him There's No Other Jesus Is The Way
Jesus Is The Answer For The World Today
Above Him There's No Other Jesus Is The Way

I Know You Got Mountains That You Think You Cannot Climb
I Know That Your Skies Have Been Dark, You Think The Sun Won't Shine
In Case You Don't Know
The Word Of God Is True
And Everything That He Promised
He will Do It For You

Jesus Is The Answer For The World Today
Above Him There's No Other Jesus Is The Way
Jesus Is The Answer For The World Today
Above Him There's No Other Jesus Is The Way

No matter what your situation, be encouraged. Keep standing on his promises.
Thank you for all your prayers.
