A week on

Wayman has been home for a week, and he has enjoyed a return of many of his skills.
It appears that the blood clot may have been absorbed, and the pressure on his brain as a result has subsided. He will have an MRI next week to determine this.
The oncologist has also decided that Temazolomide, [the chemo drug he was on] is no longer having any effect so we will probably start a second stream approach next month.
Wayman is on a high dose of dexamethasone which has side effects such as insomnia, increased appetite and heightened agitation. These are the battles he faces every day, and he is trying hard to stay in control.

Cassie is with us for a few more days, and she has been a blessing just by being here, we are grateful that she had a window of time to spend with us.

Please pray that I will find the right balance in life so I can care for Wayman without becoming emotionally fragile. I can only do this through Him who strengthens me.

On a practical note, we have an issue with our power supply needing to be upgraded to enable us to heat our home effectively. It is getting a little chilly in the hills now, and I am anxious that we are able to fix the problem before our home becomes an icebox!
Pray that the various issues involved will all be sorted out.
Many thanks.
