One of the great things about social media for someone who has lived in several places over the years is that it gives one the ability to keep in touch with friends from long ago. Yesterday, I saw were friends from my time in Tallahassee were at my hospital because their daughter had surgery. I sent a message letting them know that they were at my hospital. They shared their daughter's patient room number and today I got to go and visit with them. It was a privilege to support them and a great joy to visit with them. It has been over 15 years since the last time that I visited with them. I am thankful for the opportunity that encouraged me.
Today also included going to an oncologist appointment with dad. Dad has been struggling with low appetite and discouragement which has discourage me in turn. I wound up being encouraged during dad's doctor's visit as he said that he believed we now had the chemo side-effects under control and that if dad is able to get the chemo treatments dad's lab work has indicated that the chemo is working against his cancer. I am thankful for that little bit of hopeful news which helps with my perspective. God continues to provide right on time.
