We had lunch today with Eliana. She was delightful to dine with and ate plenty of healthy veggies.
Today is Father's Day. Happy Father's day fathers: especially mine!
It's been too long since the last update.So,here 'tis!
Deb has been steadily improving in strength and endurance. She has gutted thru the pain of continuing reduction in pain meds. Some of the medical types have been very surprised at the progress she has made. Deb has a strong sense of determination to get off them as soon as possible. Her weekly chemo continues. The oncologist cleared her for short local drives in the neighborhood and this week Deb drove herself to to a hair cut.
We have been packing and planning for our Monday morning departure for Little Rock in Gracie as it's been three months since the last checkup and this is the week.
So, standby for reports from Arkansas this week.
As we consider where we were a year ago we are so grateful for the blessings we have received!
Deb: I am so excited you are driving a little and you are coming off of the pain meds. Praise the Lord that everyone is fine, and you got to see Eliana today. I always look forward to your updates. Love in Christ, Deb Cook
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day, Vern. We know this trip to Ark. continues the healing process. Blesiing and Love, Dvid & Linda
ReplyDeleteHey Cuzzin,
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers of travelin' mercies as you wing your way west. We are so grateful for Deb's continued improvements.
I sent a co-worker and her husband to Little Rock. They went last week and had tests done on her husband. They live in Austell and he has smoldering myeloma. They have to go back in a week or two for more tests. They had an interview with Dr. Barlogie last week after his tests were done and they were so impressed with the whole place. I gave them your blog website, and she told me it has given them hope and comfort to know what they may be in store for down the road. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that the hardest part is not knowing what to expect. Once you know where you're headed, good or bad, at least you can brace yourself and forge ahead.
By the way, she said you are a wonderful writer and you should write a book (in your spare time, maybe, when you are just sitting around with nothing to do....)
Godspeed, love, and favorable winds,
Bruce & Daria
What a sweet picture! What a treat to drive yourself to the hair salon. What a blessing to have your hair back and needing to be cut!! God has been so faithful! Love, Mary Roberts
