It is apparent to me that Melvine is making daily progress in her battle with stage 3 ovarian cancer.
Today is Friday, March 1. For the last 18 weeks, I believe, I have driven Melvine to the University Cancer Clinic for Chemotherapy. Last Friday, Melvine rang the bell of victory over cancer. That was her last chemotherapy.
Next Monday, March 4, Melvine will have a CAT Scan to determine what the chemo has done in wiping out the cancer in Melvine abdomen. Although Melvine continues to experience pain, we are grateful for the pain medication that Dr. Jane Huang, Melvine's oncologist, has prescribed. We do not understand why Melvine continues to have pain, but we believe that Jesus is keenly aware of Melvine's pain and comes near in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit to speak words of comfort and healing to my beloved wife, His child.
Does Jesus Care? Oh, yes, He cares. His heart is touched by our feelings of pain. He comes close to us when we suffer. He has promised never to leave us or to forsake us.
We decided many years ago to trust God. He is our only hope. He saves, heals, delivers, and sets his people free.
Today, Thursday, Melvine and I boiled four eggs. Bonnie Bender was coming over around 12 noon to help us prepare lunch, to eat with us, and to stay with Melvine while I had to go to my cardiologist's office in preparation for a Botox outpatient surgery in the near future, to inject internally during surgery, medicines in the bladder to slow it down. My urologist wanted my cardiologist to clear me for surgery. And he did. Actually, I saw a nurse practitioner. She was tops.
Bonnie pealed the eggs, and made the egg salad. I love egg salad sandwiches. We have some nice tomatoes that are delicious, and Bonnie added tomatoes with our sandwiches. Bonnie fixed me a second sandwich and it was oh, so good. She also gave us potato chips.
Bonnie spent quality time with Melvine while I was gone. It was so meaningful to Melvine and I am sure to Bonnie. She is a dear friend whom we can count on and know she will be there to help us.
Bonnie volunteered to go pick up cough syrup for Melvine at Farmer's Prescription Shop. What a wonderful servant of the Lord.
We have found a solution to the Meals on Wheels. They gave us menus and we found food that we both like. Today was a good one and we are encouraged. Meals on Wheels is a blessing to us. It saves money and I don't have to go out to get a meal. It is wholesome, well prepared and they have a variety of food.
I deeply appreciate those who wrote us about this issue. We were greatly encouraged by your response and knowledge about Meals Wheels. You added invaluable information we needed.
Greg will be coming home again today. He will have a late rehearsal after school with his honors choir. But that's okay, we will be glad when he can be home again.
Have a blessed Friday and a great weekend.
Thank you for your prayers, cards, and letters. They mean so much to us.
Your friend in all seasons,
Hugh H. Morgan
