Monday, June 16th

Well what started out as a quiet , peaceful weekend ended up on a rather busy note.
Friday we had the home care group come and get a blood sample and then off to RJH for xrays. Both needed to plan treatment.
Saturday was quiet, we even went out for lunch. Sunday was not. Kath awoke in great pain and we were not able to get it under control. Called out home care team and got just excellent response.
After much poking, questioning and consulting with Dr on call it was decided to discontinue patches and pills and go to injection. Relief came very quickly. We had a pleasant evening and a good night. We give injections every 4 hours.
This morning has started well. Sunshine and flowers are beautiful. Looking forward to a good day.

Thank you to all who are leaving words of encouragement.

We sang this Gaelic Blessing last week and I thought you would like it. It is beautiful.

Deep peace to you, Deep peace to you, Deep peace of the earth to you, Deep peace of the stars to you, Deep peace of night to you, Moon and stars pour light on you, Deep peace of Christ, of Christ the light of the world to you, Deep peace of Christ to you.

Dear Kathy and Doug;
We are deeply saddened by your present health concerns, and the suffering which accompanies all of this. You are in our prayers constantly, and we pray that you will find the very loving essence of our God in each and every kindness which you are given. As you have been richly blessed by so many past challenges – so may you find our Lord’s blessing in this, one of the greatest challenges.
We send our love,
(Cousin) Charles+
