There are bumps and then their are ravines

This has been a ravine week. The end of which has left us all exhausted and just trying to figure out what is going on. Chris had the first of his Cyberknife treatments on Thursday. Friday morning at about 5am he had a seizure. I had him taken to the hospital via ambulance. After being there for a couple hours, Chris had another seizure. This was of course very upsetting and disconcerting. It turns out this was the result of swelling that was already evident, which was made worse with the radiation treatment. Although very scary, we are grateful that Chris was protected from falling and hurting himself. We praise God for his protection over Chris. It has taken a couple of days for Chris to start to feel like himself. He has some effects from the swelling, but we are confident in our God that He will restore those things back. The main issue is weakness in Chris's right hand. Of course his Emily came from school, due to such wonderful friends going to get her, and this made things better.

So now Chris is on a higher dose of anti-seizure medications and steroids to help relieve the swelling. We are hoping to complete the last 3 radiation treatments this week so the healing can begin, the lesion will be obliterated and Chris can recover. This road is very hard, but God has been faithful. Sometimes it does not feel that way, but we know His word is true and His character is beyond reproach. God is good, He is faithful, He is above this situation and He will have the victory.

You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.

Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.

You will be secure, because there is hope;

you will look about you and take your rest in safety. Job 11:16-18
