Bronchitis?

I just heard from Gunter, and he's on his way home from chemo #10. Lately, we've been concerned about some chest pain and heart flutters. Yesterday, he actually had a short spell of lightheadedness. I hoped they would do some sort of test today to make sure his heart is okay. I, the self-proclaimed honorary nurse, also thought it could be caused by low red blood cells. After a chest X-ray, the nurse practitioner decided it sounded like bronchitis and sent him home with some antibiotics.

I'm just not convinced. He has been coughing some, but I would say no more than usual. But I trust the nurses at the Cancer Center, and I probably would have felt better about it had I been there. And there has been a lot of this kind of thing going around... I hear that infant RSV sickness can translate into bronchitis in adults.

At this moment and, I'm sure, for the rest of this week, I will be pretty nervous. I know God is in control, but I try to be in control, too. It's only when I realize that I'm not in control that I "relinquish" control to the One Who really is. It's difficult, because I feel as though it's my job to make sure Gunter is physically cared for. It's pressure. Before I drive him crazy, I must remember that Gunter is a grown man — not a helpless child — and I'm just here to help. I bet I won't see him working himself into a worried frenzy. No, sir.

I'll update again as I see progress.
