Cindy D-Cindy's Book Corner

Sunday Morning update. God is faithful and to be praised! We had a breakthrough last night, both in communications with the doctors and in healing. A specialist stepped in, cut some red tape, and now I can have the temporary home oxygen system I will need. At the same time, my lungs have shown dramatic improvement. According to the doctor and a new chest X-ray, what should have taken weeks, has taken days. The respiratory therapist now believes that I won’t need oxygen during sleep much longer. Yesterday, she told us a month. This morning she reduced that estimate to a few days. God is good! I must add, that as a husband, I had a breakthrough moment yesterday, when the red tape was blocking the oxygen and we were doing tests that allowed my blood oxygen to dip to “see if he can get by without it.” 😬😳 To be very honest, I was a little fuzzy after those tests. But as I sat there, mentally just trying to keep up, I watched my wife fight with the doctors for my life, with dignity, grace, intelligence, and tenacity. It was a side of her nurturing spirit that I don’t often get to see, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity. “Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness I say, ‘The Lord is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in him.’” Lamentations 3:22-24
