Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It’s been over two weeks since our last blog update. As always, we give all glory to our Lord who faithfully takes care of TJ through her treatment and recovery. We thank God for watching over the children, TJ’s parents, and many of you who are diligently praying for TJ.
Since the March 3rd treatment, TJ has been recovering, and is now preparing for her 2nd chemo treatment that is scheduled for Tuesday of this week. During the past “rest” week, TJ spent precious time with Matthew and Hannah, as she also went back to work for a few days: TJ spent as much available time as possible with the children before the treatment.
TJ understands this coming week will be very difficult physically, emotionally and spiritually. She will be bed-ridden most of the week, dealing with numerous side-effects: I asked that you keep TJ in your prayers as she faces another daunting task. We pray that this treatment will go well, without any complications. I plead to God that the pain would be minimal and that TJ’s faith in God would be unwavering during this difficult period. Please pray that she’ll focus on His goodness and His power, as we all are continually praying for God’s deliverance from this cancer.
God Bless,
Kwang

First chemo week is done!
Dear all,
We knew some side-effects come with TJ’s chemotherapy regiment, including a high fever. On Thursday, TJ’s fever climbed to 101 degrees as if she caught terrible flu-like symptoms - body aches in bones and muscles, cold shivers, lack of appetite, and on-going fatigue. These symptoms followed into the Friday morning when her fever reached 102 degrees. We contacted our Oncologist who wants to see TJ for additional testing. Although we have not received all the test results, we were told that her blood count looks good; low count is susceptible to bacteria. We returned home, praying that the fever would drop soon.
On Friday afternoon, my mother and sisters from Atlanta drove down to see TJ: it was good to see my mother praying with and for TJ. They also had a chance to spend some quality time with Matthew and Hannah. I wish they lived closer so that frequent visitations could be possible…. We understand many of you in GA/PA feel the same way!
We thank you for thinking of TJ and keeping her in your prayers. First chemotherapy is completed… Praise the Lord!
God Bless,
Kwang

First day of Chemotherapy
Dear All,
Today was TJ’s first day of chemotherapy. Everything went well at Mayo and now, she is at home resting.
We left for the hospital early this morning and by the time we returned, it was around 3:30pm. The chemotherapy took approx. 4 hours plus additional 2 hours for blood works and a doctor’s meeting.
We continually thank God for watching over TJ as she receives the treatment, and we pray that no major side-effects would arise during next few days. Thank you for your continuous prayers.
God Bless,
