October 31, 2009-5:57AM

Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
-Proverbs 31:25-29

Heather's mom left in the morning yesterday (thank you for your help Pam!), so Heather ran the household alone and quite successfully. She is getting back into the swing of things.

The draining of her seroma went well. In fact, she often couldn't feel the needle going in, which is a common side effect of mastectomy. She had to switch to an electric razor as well because shaving with a blade when you have no feeling leads to too much blood, as you could imagine. She still tires pretty easily, but she is staying up much of the day now.

Prayer requests:
  • We meet with the oncologist on November 5 to figure out where to go next.
  • That God would be preparing Heather's spirit for chemotherapy.
  • That our paperwork for Tessa would fly through the system so we can get our little girl home!
  • That God would show His powerful hand with our dear friends, the Thuls, whose little girl Amelia is in Children's Hospital of Minneapolis with a viral encephalitis.
Thank you all for your prayers. Grace and peace. -Jason
