A Quiet Rest

Fiona has finally had a relatively quiet day with only minor episodes. After days of heart-rendering struggles with breathlessness, the doctors have sedated her with a constant supply of morphine.

However, this also has the obvious effect of keeping her asleep or at least very groggy at all times. In addition, her dependence on oxygen is increased and she requires a mask at all times (as compared to just a nasal prong previously).  We are thankful, however, that she at least has been able to get some quiet rest, albeit in a sedated state.

Fiona's second chemo appointment has been cancelled.  The oncologist has determined that this is best as, in her assessment, the chemo will more likely cause harm than good at this point.  Given Fiona's severely weakened state, we agreed with this.

We continue to be thankful for the many supportive wishes and offers of help we have received. We are thankful too for the many prayers.  We continue to believe that God can still work a miracle at this point.  Please pray for Fiona to receive peace at this time, that she will have good rest.
