Though Nelson and his family are visiting cousin Luke for a weekend getaway, he has a tough night with multiple difficulties.

September 17,2022
Here it is, midnight, and I’m downstairs at Luke’s place. I made it only getting up one time so far. I have the chills, and it comes and goes throughout the day. It’s not the easiest thing I’ve been through.
Nights are long. Understandably, Annso wants me to stay in bed with her and try to fall back asleep, but I can only sit there for so long. Ron and Glo arrived last night in their big camper. It was good to see them.
I have so much to be thankful for. I can spend time writing up a gratitude inventory. I can listen to sermons if I want, about contentment. Thank you for our super nice cousins who let us stay at their big fancy houses. We are blessed beyond measure. Thank you Lord.
We were at Drew’s a couple weeks back and here at Luke’s this week. Thank you for how far we’ve come on the house hunt, for being this close. I pray you would take us the rest of the way.
Annso is the best person in the whole world to me. She is the vehicle you give me so much joy through. I can’t believe how hard she works to make me healthy and happy. Thank you for the way I feel, better and better as time goes on. You give me a healthier body with each passing day.
I pray for good news on Sept.21, that we can hear that the cancer is gone or going down.
5:50 am
I finally made it through the night after getting up about 20 times. I have a fever of 102.5, which is pretty high. Makes me worry whether or not I’ll end up at the ER—the last place I want to be. Lots of good things are going on, but this is not a good thing.
Staying awake pretty much all night is no fun at all. Astrid has a fever too, which sort of helps me, because I am glad to know she is battling with the same thing. I don’t know what to say, Lord. You are the author and perfecter of our faith, and you know our going in and coming out. I don’t know what I should be doing.
I resist the hospital, and I fear it like crazy. Maybe we should get some Covid tests to see if we have that. It’s possible I suppose.
Just closed out Romans. It’s a super tough book. Lots of tough theology. Paul is super smart and explains all sorts of complex things. Jews and Gentiles. Calling, The Elect. Master topics. I think Martin Luther wrote a commentary on it, I’m pretty sure. People are way smarter than I am. Wow.
