Thank you, all for your kind words and comments. Your prayers also are felt by us. I apologize for the tone of that last post. I was a bit "whiny" that day, wasn't I?? ;-) Anyway, James has been able to stay out of the hospital for a while now (a week+!) which is always encouraging news. Between the M.E.N.1/cancer issues and now the tachycardia issues along with the fairly recent medication stabilization problems, it sometimes seems he is IN the hospital more than OUT. Regardless of having to stay put in his chair all day I am really enjoying just having him HERE. I can always feel his presence near me wherever I might happen to be in the house rather than so far away from him when he's admitted. That little "In sickness and in health" clause within traditional wedding vows never really seems like too big of a deal when you're just dealing with colds/flu or even the occasional surgery. But when your spouse, lover, best friend, etc. is continually wracked with pain, discouraged and frightened, needing you to care for and even "baby" them now more than ever, it takes on a whole new meaning! That's where faith in God comes in! He wants nothing more than to strengthen our resolve and faith in Him, continuously renewing us and teaching us lessons in patience, faith, etc. He is always so close even when we become so discouraged and wants, NEEDS us to cry out to Him. I seem to do that quite a lot and do you know what? He's never failed to answer me. Sometimes I don't care too much for the answer but it and HE is always there.
