with a couple of prayer requests.

1.  Jo won’t start chemo tomorrow.  At the earliest she will go in on Wednesday.  But tomorrow she’ll go in for some more tests.  Apparently her heart is not strong enough for one of her two chemo meds.  If it doesn’t strengthen, she won’t be able to do that med and she really should/needs to.  So prayer for her heart (seriously, just one more thing… this is me being frustrated…) would be amazing.

2.  Things are really stressful at home right now for both Mom and Jo…  They’re expecting these rounds of chemos to be worse on Jo (which in turn is also worse on mom) and there’s some major clashing with my brother and his fiancee and the rest of the household.  Jo was up all night the other night because my brother and Chas just let the baby cry rather than turning out the lights and going to bed themselves or moving the baby to a room where the baby could sleep.  This is obviously NOT going to be a condusive atmosphere for Jo’s recovery and mom and Jo are at their wits end.  Frankly, I think they’re saints, but that’s a different matter.  If you could pray for a softening of Chassidy’s heart (and Dan’s, though Chas usually directs things with the baby) and that they might start thinking of someone else besides themselves at least occassionally that would be greatly appreciated as well…
