As Tears Go By

Today was a rough day for Cathy, emotionally. Apparently she had a serious conversation with one of the doctors this morning. What she heard upset her. What she heard wasn't anything new, it wasn't anything that we haven't heard several times during the past month or so. I think this morning, more than hearing the words, this morning she understood their meaning.

"There is nothing more that we can do for you at this time except make you comfortable until you receive a new lung".

Cathy was again unable to get out of bed today for physical therapy. She tried. This added to her 'funk'.

On the positive side of things: The bleeding in her lungs/airways has stopped (again). Her secretions are clear, no color or dried blood.

Cathy,
The reality of the words you heard today is scary and hard to accept. Just hang in there my Friend. We are praying for you more then ever now. We are praying for that new lung, a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
I love you...

Sweet C.J., I know that this journey has been long, painful and scary and we both know it's not over. But you are not alone nor are you without hope. You have a powerful God holding you in His mighty hands and orchestrating the precise timing of that perfect lung. Your role is simply to trust Him. Try to give Him all your fears and anxiety and rest in His arms. He will bless you for your faith and you will know a peace like never before. This is my prayer for you.

I love you so much...and so does HE!!!

Hugs,
BonBon
XOXOXOXOX
