So far, So good

Morgan's first night of chemo went according to plan. She was loaded up with anti-nausea medicine to help with the side effects. She rested on and off during the treatment until it ended at 2:15 am. After that she slept for most of the morning. Her face has been very red and the doctors aren't sure why. It could be a side effect of the anti-nausea meds.
Her next treatment began about 20 minutes ago. Hopefully, it will go as smoothly as last night.
Morgan has been a bit irritable today. I know that most of it has to do with the meds. and the fact that being stuck in this room is boring. Overall, she handles it quite well. Even when we do manage to get out of the room and stroll around the hall it is heartbreaking to see these babies and toddlers fighting their own battle with cancer. It is moments like that that I look to God. We must all remember that HE is sovereign and in control.
I am currently reading Kay Arthur's book AS SILVER REFINED and today I read something that touched me and I would like to share it with you: she says, "The situation, whatever its shape or form, is designed to MAKE you, not to destroy you. It has been permitted by God to mold you into the image of His Son rather than disfigure you for life. "
God has a plan for Morgan........and a plan for you and me too.
