It seems we take two steps forwards and 3 or 4 back.
On the forward side Bety’s guts have reached equilibrium and are now one with the world. Can I hear an “AMEN”?
On the back side, since the bowels were in an uproar, Dr. Boise couldn’t start chemo as hoped. This led to a build up of fluid in Betsy’s abdomen which, in turned, caused Betsy a lot distress which came to a head today.
After consulting with the medical team, Betsy elected to undergo Thoracentesis and the results were remarkable.
If Betsy can maintain her current state, I really think I’ll be bringing her hope to tomorrow. Can I hear another “AMEN’?
Stay tuned and keep the prayers and comments coming.

Hi Betsy,
I'm glad to hear you're home.
I was a colleague of Tom's from the Bureau. I'm still with the Bureau and one of my colleagues informed me about your serious battle with cancer and also about your blog website. I have been checking the website ever since to see if there are any updates. Tom is doing a fabulous job with keeping everyone informed.
I would just like to say that may God bless you and hold you in his arms of love and comfort. May he help you and your family through this time of change and keep your faith strong. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
