And so the ride continues-10/24/09

Dear Friends and Family,

God told me that the ride would continue, so I am hanging on!! I'm needing prayer for some physical things that presented themselves last night.

I did forget my steroid last night that is helping with the radiation pneumonia swelling. Could be part of this. It's a guessing game. But God knows exactly what is up and He is in control!! Around 3:30 am Josh woke up with a bad dream and join us in bed. So then I noticed my left lung area was uncomfortable and decided since I was all awake to just get up and take another pain med. It really did nothing at all. The pain just continued. I have not had much pain through this whole thing. So I really don't take that much stuff for it. Just enough to help me relax to get good sleep. I do have more stuff and stronger stuff on hand if needed. I just want to know what is really necessary especially with God on the job!!

I also noticed my face was more swollen this morning and my rings were tighter. That could be a Superior Vena Cava syndrome complication. Again, God knows exactly what is going on around that vein. My breathing is feeling fine. I do need to mention another good improvement thing that happened this week. I was having a hard time getting burps out. It made my stomach feel full and my appetite supressed. Then early in the week one morning. Things just went back to normal in the burping department. So now you all can be happy when you burp and know it's all a good part of a healthy system. I so thankful!

I have been feeling lots of improvement so I know that I have been doing more than I should. This could be God telling me to pace myself a little better. I love my family and love to take care of them. It's a joy to me! But right now I need to let them keep doing what they are doing and taking care of me and letting me just help in ways that are reasonable. I have such a great family! I love them all so much!! So today will involve more just sitting. My legs got so weak with all this. I just think I need to move them more. But, again there is that happy medium.

Thanks for praying. It's weird writing about so many physical things with my body. But I really feel this is how the Lord wants me to handle things now. Thanks for being apart of this with me and my family. I do not feel afraid. Just uncomfortable. Already my back is starting to ease up! Praise Jesus!!!

Oh yes, while I am thinking of it. Pray for Joshua too. He was really weepy yesterday and even at school. Just sensitive about whatever...nothing imparticular. He has been mentioning about being scared our house is going to burn down a lot lately. Not sure what sparked that one. But he's been on that one for a couple weeks. Thanks friends!

I love you all so much!! Thank you Jesus...Thank you too!!

Wow, sounds like a lot is going on with Joshua. I'm sure that all the kids are going to need to be held up in prayer. Be assured there are many prayers heading heavenward for all of you.

You take it easy and let the kids and Larry do the work.

Don't worry about taking whatever medication you need to help make yourself comfortable. And, don't forget to let the doctor know when something is strange. It may be a simple fix.

Remember, you are the daughter of the King. You're His dear and precious thing. He's in control, even when things seem out of control.

Will continue praying for you and your wonderful family.

Love ya lady.

HI Peggy - I am praying for all that you mention in your post, and then some. I am praying that Josh finds some comfort - I imagine the little guy is not sure how to fully express what his feelings are, he must feel so anxious. You are incredibly amazing, and I loved the time we were able to spend together last week. Your family, including your churh family, and family of friends, is so blessed to be around you. The Lord is pleased with you, that I know! Giving it all to Him for His glory - What a shining example and blessing you are for the rest of us. Continuing to pray and love you all! All the Simonson's have you in they're thoughts and prayers as well! Ann
