Since we found out about Susette's condition, we have spoken with many cancer survivors or members of families who have experienced the chemotherapy treatment process. One thing that seemed to ring consistent with everyone we spoke with was that the chemotherapy patient has "good and bad days."
Well, yesterday we experienced our first "bad" day as Susette felt nauseous, weak, achy, lacked appetite, and just felt all around awful. It pained me so much to see her hurting knowing there was very little i could do to make her feel better. Knowing she had taken her medication, i continued trying to get her to eat and drink to keep her strength up (she's down to 110 pounds). i made sure she was able to rest and just tried to make her as comfortable as possible.
At one point, she regained her appetite and i was ecstatic. She was craving cheese and pasta. So, we broke her tight veggie/vegan diet to order Italian -- pizza and raviolis. It was so great to see her eat, even if it was only two raviolis and half a slice of pizza.
Please keep my precious flower in your prayers -- for more good days than bad.
(Her next chemo treatment is scheduled for February 15)

Dear Susette (Susanita Cubanita),

I'll never forget when Sue said at church while I was a young Christian:
"There's no better place to be other than being in God's will."
It revolutionized my walk. We will continue to praise Him, thank Him and give Him all glory. This little lady is a mighty warrior in Christ and no weapon formed against her will prevail. Her Surgeon General, Commander in Chief and ALL TIME HEALER is for her!!
We love all of you and our daily prayers are with you, the family and the Haiti Family
