Frustration Sets In!

It is now 4.30pm -Prague Time. We just got off the phone with Andrea. Since the morning she has started to feel a bit better. She was pleased that she was able to eat some of mom's apple sauce and Nana's home-baked buns. Her spirits were up, compared to this am, but she is still tired - to be expected I guess. Andrea spent over an hour reading the emails that many of you sent to her over the past day or two. She has been really encouraged by the emails and knowing that so many are praying.
Tomorrow morning Andrea and Katka will move to different room in another part of the ward. They will be able to walk the halls and the change of scenery will be a welcome sight. Andrea will also have a full body scan in the morning. Connie and I will meet to learn the results of that scan at 10.00am tomorrow. And the best news of all...Connie and I can visit with her for about 15 minutes in the afternoon (it will be hard not to hug her but to see her will GREAT!).

I wrote the following update at
10:00am Prague time
We talked with Andrea this morning. She slept okay but was up too late and still feels quite tired. Her stomach continues to feel nauseated and she is getting quite frustrated with that. She feels hungry, but when she goes to eat, she doesn't feel like eating.

Hi. I just wanted to send another note encouraging all of you during this roller coaster ride.

You are all loved by so many people who are praying, even at times we haven't signed up for on the prayer calendar. God is good and faithful. He hears our prayers and is working for Andrea's good. He never fails, never sleeps, never ignores us, never leaves us. God has all of you in His arms. Be encouraged and cling to Him.

Personally, if I had my way, Andrea would never have had to go through any of this. However, I have to believe God has a purpose. It speaks so beautifully of Andrea's love and faithfulness that she is remaining true to God and her faith. Like Job, I have to believe there will be rewards for her, whether they are given to her here or in heaven remains to be seen.

I think it is wonderful that Katka is there with Andrea. I'm sure it helps to have another person to talk with. I'm also confident that Katka is noticing Andrea's faith. God will honor that.

Remember, be encouraged...know that you are loved...we are praying...God is faithful.

Blessings to you all,
Joy
