K is back home with me. Praise God. It took five days to stabilize him and get his lungs to take in oxygen without the oxygen mask. He had a bacterial pneumonia that had closed up his bronchial tubes and he has COPD. This is the first time we had been told he has COPD. He couldn't leave the hospital without oxygen and the cancer services set us up with a program that provided us with a condenser and mobile tanks. But the doctors sent us home with five prescriptions and we are still trying to figure out how we are going to get these every month. They will cost us $570 a month.

K. does not want to apply for disability and medicaid. He wants to work as long as he is able. My boss is holding my job for me and I am trying to get a routine going so I will be able to go back. We need the money. K's boss came to see him at the hospital and told him he would like for him to come back to work and he would let him work part time until he felt he could work longer hours. K isn't suppose to drive yet so I have been taking him and picking him up.

We go tomorrow to see a cancer specialist to get K started on chemotherapy.

We are still cleaning up the yard from the damage of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Rita came through and toppled more trees. These also fell away from the house. I have an opening through the woods on the left side of the house. More sunlight shines on us now.

The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord. Psalm 104:31-34
