Exhaustion on the part of the care giver sometimes sets in and I am praying that you have continued strength!
I am also praying for Raymond's perseverance through all this so that he will come out this chemotherapy victorious!

Thanks to some curious occurrences I'll be going to DL tomorrow  Though I'm allowed in to see Raymond virtually any time I wish I usually go in the afternoons - but tomorrow afternoon Glasgow Rangers are playing a football game at home - Ibrox Stadium - and that is on my route to the Hospital - so the afternoon visit is not a good idea. I have been instructed by Raymond to book a taxi to take me to my coach for Edinburgh so I can get to DL - and if I do go then I am to visit him at night. If I don't go I will feel his wrath in the evening  Raymond is doing as well as he can be - he's roughly halfway through his first 10 day course of Chemotherapy and tolerating it pretty well so far. He is also on large doses of antibiotics , has had 3 more units of blood and at times has 2 IVIs running. His spirits are good and he is up and dressed all day even though he is only sitting in a chair in his room. Candles will be lit tomorrow for everyone here since the support I'm getting is wonderful - you are all so caring and Raymond and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Prayers for you both, dear friend. Glad to hear such a positive and hopeful report.

You hang in there! We have several leukemia survivors in our family... It is awful to go through, but you have hope!
You have our prayers.

Holy Mary, full of the presence of God during your life you accepted with great humility the Holy Will of the Father and the legacy of your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Evil never dared to entangle you with its confusion. Since then you have interceded for all of our difficulties. With all simplicity and patience you have given us example on how to untangle the knots in our complicated lives. By being our Mother forever, you arrange and make clear the path that unites us to Our Lord. Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart untie the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive in your hands Raymond - that he will be healed to give all the glory to God and Anhelyna - for strength and presevernece and deliver us from the chains and confusions that have us restrained. Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession and by your example, deliver us from evil and untie the knots that keep us from uniting with God, so that once free of every confusion and error, we may find Him in all things, have Him in our hearts and serve him always in our brothers and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us . Amen
