Yesterday I said Gary could have visitors. I feel that it is necessary to give warning. You will not encounter the Gary that you knew before Jan 16. The trauma of the allergic reaction from the chemo, the length of time in the hospital, and the very large amount of drugs has pretty much changed him. Expect him to fall asleep during your visit. When he is awake, expect him to remain silent. A simple conversation is a lot of work for Gary. Expect him to use the urinal in front of you without any notice. He desperately needs to get home as soon as possible. Pray that he stays healthy enough to leave the hospital in a day or two. Pray that all arrangements for his move home can be made quickly and that all of his needs will be met. Pray for him to get his physical strength back. Most importantly, pray that Gary will gain strength of spirit. At this time he does not seem to have any reserves from which to draw.
As Gary and I struggle through this difficult time in our lives, I am thankful that we both have our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This is what we believe in a nutshell, “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures (Bible), He was buried, He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” ICorinthians 15:3, 4. I am at peace knowing that this physical life is not the end. Gary and I look forward to more living on this earth and an eternity of time in heaven.
