Today is day 5 following Araella's second chemotherapy treatment and I am happy to report that she has fewer side effects!!! (no nausea, no eye trouble, less fatigue) The vitamin C infusion and your prayers worked! Praise reports make the enemy tremble. Even though the port surgery has caused her to be uncomfortable, we are claiming Round 2 as a victory and ask for prayers that the discomfort and irritation from the port will cease quickly.
One of the bracelets that Araella is wearing reads, YOU'RE FIGHTING MY BATTLES. These lyrics were our battle song this time around: My fear like an enemy army, is marching again, but I'm making a stand, you surround me on every side, your love is my armor... so I won't be afraid… You're fighting my battles!!! (Here is the link to the song Battles by The Afters.)
Our battle against the weather: Since we arrived home, it has been dreary outside… Even Sukee has been avoiding the outdoors choosing instead to burrow under fuzzy blankets. We decided that we had to get outside. So today, armed with a Petco gift certificate, we set out for a little retail therapy. Our outing was only an hour long, however it was a successful mission. Sukee carefully considered a myriad of stuffed toys before deciding on Chewbacca while Araella and I chose a few sweaters for her. At one time we vowed never to be "those" pet owners - however we now completely embrace sweater weather for all three of us. On the drive home, we also picked up some kombucha (probiotics for Rae) with GoFundMe money. Thank you <3
