Thanks for your prayers.

"Through the LORD's mercies we are
not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"Therefore I hope in Him."
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
to the soul who seeks Him.
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly
For the salvation of the LORD."
Lamentations 3:22-26

The day was long and started out roughly. We got to the hospital at 8:00 am, but didn't start the 8 hour infusion until 11:30. Annabelle's port wasn't functioning properly and had to be accessed (held down and poked with a needle) twice. Then, it still wasn't functioning correctly. To make a long story short, we had to add an hour to the end of the treatment to inject a declotting drug into her port. Thankfully, it worked and we were able to come home at 8:30 pm. Her body accepted the drug well and had zero side effects during the infusion. Also, she took a good nap during the process which helped break up the day immensely. (We even dozed while she did.)

While there, we ran into the mom of the guy we gave a Bible to (his name is Craig). We were able to chat with her for awhile, and she was very greatful and kind to us.

The day that started out not so good, ended up being smoother than others we've had. Thank you to those who prayed. The Lord protected Annabelle and gave us the patience we needed to get through the day's challenges. Tonight we feel full of thankful praise to Him!
