A Long Day

Today has been a difficult day with doctors' appointments and coughing fits. It looked for awhile like Linda was going to be admitted to the hospital. It turns out, however, that her lungs are clear and her white and red cell counts are acceptable - but she continues to struggle with horrific coughing fits. The oncologist concluded she is most likely struggling with GERDS (reflux), thrush in her throat (caused by steroids and antibiotics), or both. She has been given some new medication, but it will likely take a few days to have an effect. PLEASE pray that the coughing will diminish sooner rather than later. Also, pray for God's presence and grace to be near.
