Two months later

But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence. 1 Kings 5:4

The good news is that two months after plasmapheresis, my blood test showed everything as normal again and my medications have been reduced. I am feeling much better and improving physically daily. This is such joy.

A dear friend of mine, Gigi, was relived from her suffering and sadly passed away a week ago. She battled with colon cancer for a few years but has now gone to join the angels. She was such a special person and would be remembered lovingly by many. It was better for her to depart and to be with the Lord just as Paul said in the Bible (Philippians 1:23). My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. She will be missed.

Psalm 124, A song of David

 ¹ “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,”
         Let Israel now say—
 ² “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
         When men rose up against us,
 ³ Then they would have swallowed us alive,
         When their wrath was kindled against us;
 ⁴ Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
         The stream would have gone over our soul;
 ⁵ Then the swollen waters
         Would have gone over our soul.”    
 ⁶ Blessed be the LORD,
         Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
 ⁷ Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
         The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
 ⁸ Our help is in the name of the LORD,
         Who made heaven and earth.
