Kevin's Watch

Savor Dam, your son and your family will be in all our prayers. There is power in prayer and in God's love.

Psalms 121: 1-8

I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?
My help cometh from HaShem, who made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel doth neither slumber nor sleep.
HaShem is thy keeper; HaShem is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
HaShem shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.
HaShem shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for ever.

Sending thoughts and hopes for the best of all possible outcomes SD.

What everybody else has already said.

Tonight I am doing what I am calling "respite care." Although 19, Dam-et is not ready to be left alone overnight, and he prefers having someone with him during the day to help communicate with his caregivers, with his hearing deficiency. Dam-sel has been staying with him 24/7, except for the occasional meal break or walk, since Tuesday afternoon. So, tonight and tomorrow I am staying with him and giving SD and Dam-sel a chance to be with each other, let their own guard down, and turn to each other.

At least, that was the plan. Turns out they need to go to Dam-et's dorm, pack it up, and clean it out tomorrow, since the dorms for the next term open on Sunday and it appears there is no way Dam-et will be able to return in a timely manner this term. Not with chemo suppressing his immune system and the risk of infection that entails.

*sigh*

No rest for the weary.

I pray this journey strengthens.

Love and Light.

Todah, bashert. We appreciate this break, and everything you've done this week to help us cope with this.

along with Julie, my prayers for you and yours...
