A hard month

Actually the last month has been a very difficult month. Prior to the surgery we did get together with an old friend for a second opinion about it. Dr. Doug Lee concurred that it would be a good decision. So we felt confident in going ahead with the surgery. It went well. Except I acquired a yeast infection. By the end of the week my red blood count was very low. Dr. Lee told me to go to the ER and the hospital for a blood transfusion. He also ordered up all the usual tests-X-ray, CT scan, MRI, etc.. As a result the following week I was so weak that it was hard to get out of bed. With no appetite, fighting the yeast infection, I continued to get weaker. I didn't go to work. It was a downward spiral.
The intensive contact with the medical establishment has meant many more appointments and tests. It seems like things began to turn around about 10 days ago. My appetite began to return. But I am still weak and am trying to eat more. I am building up my stamina, but still have a ways to go. Through all this we have been trusting in the Lord and listening for his voice.
I would also appreciate your prayers for getting good rest at night. Thank you for your ongoing prayers.
