I can’t sleep so I’m adding another post. Karen’s mouth and lips are very sore from the chemo (burning sensation - her words) and she is experiencing pain in her abdomen. As usual she doesn’t complain about the pain or nausea and will only tell you how she is feeling if you really press her for information. Her usual response to inquires about how she is doing is, “I’m fine”. Her tired eyes and moans while sleeping say differently. Her strength, determination and unwavering decision not to complain about her illness or the associated complications both humble and inspire me. I'm headed back to bed where I’ll have the privilege of sleeping or staring at the ceiling next to my hero (heroine). Please pray for relief from the pain, healing and rest.

Until next time…
