Psalm 28:2

'Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place'

We are back at the hotel after a frightful morning.
Let me start with saying the "comfy bed" did not do much for her. Her pain and comfort level could not be kept under control. When she arrived for her appt they did a blood draw and results showed her platelets were too low to start trial. They retested 3 times and then got a "read" that qualified(1st bullet dodged). Next up was her liver function level. She was a 2.3 and needed to be under 1.5. Once again, Brian hears that she does not qualify. With his heart in his throat, a nurse rechecks the prospectus for the trial and realizes that patients with liver cancer can have higher levels(up to 2.5). With the 2nd bullet dodged, they hook her all up and monitor her bodies reaction. After about 3 hours they give her the ok to leave.
She is now back in bed and on 2 different medications to help her rest and reach a decent comfort level. We will return tomorrow at 10am to discontinue the Yondelis.

The most difficult part is watching her suffer. No one should endure this...back on our knees soldiers...

Pray On!

I am back on my knees praying that you get some good sleep and freedom from pain. You're right, no one should suffer so. To all the Goodell family, prayers for strength and continued perseverance. You are much loved. God Bless.
