Anne’s had a good week.
The sparkle in those big brown eyes returned, no longer dimmed by the potent effects of chemotherapy drugs.The severe fatigue and nausea have abated this third week. It’s felt good. And normal.
She kicked the soccer ball with Jack. Did a little bit of counseling. Watched the ESPYS. Lent her extraordinary staging abilities to a client. Shopped for groceries. Played the piano (she’s written a few songs).
Next week she’ll have her third of six chemotherapy infusions. Sadly, it will mean she has to leave Ocean Isle Beach early, where we’ll be celebrating our annual vacation with her family. Booooo. She put it well: “It’s like showing up at the playground knowing the school bully is going to punch you in the gut.”
Yet my girl continues to embrace her hardship with hope, courage, and dependence on the Lord for daily grace.
With gratitude,
Van
facing the thief 
Will continue to pray for y’all. Happy to hear that she got to feel normal and have the energy to do things she loves. Big Hugs!!
