Good Afternoon!
We are reveling in the hardness of the frost last night. Everything here (except the Cana Lilies) is put away or battened down for the winter and we at last had a restful morning.
I have a prayer request to share with you for Mama. Not to worry; she is still doing well. But she has struggled a bit in the last two days with pain and numbness in her fingers and toes and joints. We were thankful to be able to talk with Dr. L. and walk through our options making a plan for pain medication. The pain really is not arthritic as many have supposed up till now but I think is related to some form of nerve pain. We knew these would be the side effects of Paclitaxel, but frankly, didn’t expect them to come so early on in the treatment regimen. Dr. L. told us that often people who have pain early on are more likely to struggle with neuropathy later. So would you pray for Mama, that the pain would continue to be manageable, so she can go all the way through her treatment plan and that God would give her wisdom so she would know when and what to communicate with the doctors.

Thank you all for your faithfulness in praying and caring for us.
With Love and Gratefulness,
Aubrey
