Dear Prayer Partners,
Thank you for you continuing prayers, we are thankful for you and your prayers.
The LORD has really encouraged us these last few weeks, one morning I asked HIM for something encouraging that day and we had a doctors appointment, as we were finishing what seemed like a routine appointment, the doctor asked John to sign something (John hasn't just signed anything in months and if he did it took a lot of effort and wasn't anywhere close to his normal signature) John took the pen said where and signed it, just like he had always done before all of this!!
How very encouraged I was, the LORD answered my prayer. I know it is a small thing but to me the LORD always know just what we need to help us, to build our faith to hold onto HIS promise, HE has this.
We have had a few bumps in the road but we have also seen the LORD's hand uphold us through it all.
About 2 weeks ago John had a pain in his calf that just wouldn't stop and it also became swollen, after an ultrasound and a cat scan they discovered he has a large blood clot in his calf and blood clots in his lungs so he is on injections to thin his blood and dissolve the clots. The injections he dislikes receiving and I dislike giving him. At this time we are not sure for how long he will have to have them so please be praying that the clots have dissolved and we can stop them.
In the morning Thursday June 11, he is having a procedure, surgery, as an out patient, please be praying for all to go well and quickly. He is very pleased no injection tonight or in the morning and so am I!
We were blessed Monday and Tuesday, Pastor Greg Jones from Burnie, Tasmania came for a visit, was very short but we were very blessed and encouraged by his visit and prayers.
The doctors have stopped the chemo for a few weeks, may start back on Monday June 15 but they are waiting to see how he is before they say for sure.
We were trying to start walking again, he just hadn't felt like it and with his eyesight being a problem he was discouraged somewhat, and then the blood clots, but after seeing he doctor who really encouraged him that it would be good for him I am sure we will start taking walks again. Pray he will see the benefits and not the obstacles.
May the LORD bless you and keep you and make HIS face shine upon you.
Agape,
Monette and John
The Blessing of the LORD that makes rich and HE adds no sorrow with it.
