Infusion Day Round Two
While I was glad to settle into reading how God is Self-Sufficient (and I am not!), 
my time passed quickly instead with talking and party planning! 
The RNs in here are wonderful at not only their medical jobs,

And I also love how the Lord in His kindness, 
encouraged me with a "spa" mate' who was getting her 99th treatment today!
