A rough week

I think coming up with a title for these posts is often difficult. I'm not sure what to name this one. I guard my words, constantly, trying not to be too negative or overly excited about the glimpses of positive. There isn't any really bad news today. Tyler has just had a couple of bad days. He's not feeling good at all. He's had some opportunities to go outside and get some sunshine, still, but just overall not feeling good this week.

Also, his j-tube (drain for the stomach) isn't working properly. So, he can't have drinks again (UGH!) or have half of his meds, including one of the cancer treatments. We are waiting to hear from surgery on the plan to put it back in the right place.

Please keep him in your prayers, as always. Thank you!

Some encouragement from 1 Peter 1 for my fellow believers in Jesus Christ:

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, ⁵ who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

⁶ In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, ⁷ so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

⁸ Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, ⁹ obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
