I woke up not feeling very good this morning. But that didn’t matter because I still had to get up and have a covid test and go to chemo. My heart rate was in the 120’s so they gave me a bag of fluid and that brought it down. I have never seen it stay that high before.
Tomorrow I go in for surgery. Sage asked me tonight what I was scared or anxious about. I told her I couldn’t pinpoint it to one thing. It was just the surgery in general that is making me anxious. She asked if she could pray with me. What mom could say no to that? I am thankful for that sweet time with my daughter this evening. Molly could tell I was anxious as well and came in and sat beside me on the bed for a while. And I’ve gotten extra hugs and kisses from Ashley. It’s interesting how each daughter cares for me in a different way.
My surgery is scheduled to start around 12:30 or 1. With the length of surgery and recovery I am not sure I will be able to get a blog post out tomorrow night. So if not tomorrow night, the next day.
Thanks for praying for me and our family through this next difficult part of our lives.
Thinking of you, praying for you, and trusting that God’s hands are guiding this surgery.

Praying for you today Jennifer.
Love you Jennifer and in prayer for you and Tom and the girls They are so sweet.
I pray for you and hope the surgery goes well.
Dear Jennifer,
You have sweet girls. I remember when this first started preparing dinner at your house and helping the girls with homework then putting them to bed. They have grown up so much since then. Praying for a good night’s sleep for all and Phil 4:6.
What a blessing to have three loving daughters to give you support and strength when you need it. You all have been through so much. Praying for you to sleep well tonight and that peace will envelop you. I pray the procedure will go smoothly and that the pain pump will give you the relief you need.
Continuing to keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers…and especially for
good pain relief from the “pump”!!

Praying that you rest & everything goes exceedingly well. Praying the pump & pain medicine work well and your body heals quickly from the surgery. Praying for peace & comfort for all of you. We ask that you touch their hearts in a special way as you pour out your love for them, Lord. We thank you for everything.
What a blessing to have your girls praying, “hanging out” and hugging I’m sure this has been a great time of learning to trust God in and through all things. You are such a great example to so many ❤️
