This week has seen Wayman enjoy increased clarity as the radiotherapy gives him relief from symptoms. He is gaining weight after loosing a significant amount when he was diagnosed. I am constantly having to restock the refrigerator! Thankfully he has now been classed a type 1 diabetic, which enables us to control his blood sugar levels completely with insulin. The drugs used in his treatment are responsible for raised BSLs in non-diabetics, so we face a daily battle to keep him stable. This is only complicated by his increased appetite, again due to the drug regime.
Cassie and Nathan have headed home to Nashville, they were a great help to us while they were here. The Rainbows and Marauns are maximising their time with Wayman.
The commitment of seeing 5 different doctors as well as attending radiotherapy demands some co-ordination but we are managing to see everyone and still have time at home.
Thank God for Wayman's improved condition, and his high spirits.
Please pray that I will stay well, and have the mental and physical energy to continue to care for him, which is my hearts desire.
You are both in my prayers - for continued strength and particularly for you to feel God's presence. Love Ruthe x
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth & Wayman - I'm not sure what happened to my earlier comment (!), but please know we are praying for these things, for both of you. Thanks so much for keeping us updated. Much love,

My comment previously also seems to have been lost.
ReplyDeleteAdrian and I will pray for you both, especially for your well being.
God has his loving arms around you both.

We are so glad that Wayman is feeling a little better and praise God for that. Praying on for all that you mention. 'The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms' Deut 33:27
