4:45 AM Awake

It's bound to happen  I wake up in the night and instead of falling back to sleep, my thinker starts thinking. Fortunately they aren't scary thoughts. But it is unusual to be awake at this hour.

I talked to Scott and Beth last night. They have been researching lymphoma and found some encouraging information. They said that often even if it isn't totally cured, it can be put into remission and stay that way and the person has a normal lifespan. I'll go with that.  I haven't done much research. I don't want to scare myself when I really don't know yet what Im up against.

They also told me that they are all feeling pretty peaceful and optimistic. Thats the way I feel too. There is a lot of praying going on. God must be listening and sending us peace while we wait for answers. It reminds me of an old hymn:

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
