Wednesday was another day of chemo. The week before this last round of chemo was the best since my treatments began. I gained 4 pounds in the prior two weeks, which is something I needed to do. After chemo on Wednesday, we went to Kerri’s for two nights and celebrated Thanksgiving with her family. We had a great time with our little family including our son-in-law’s parents. Madeleine, our granddaughter, kept us entertained the entire time.

Thanksgiving was different this year. I was attached to a pump infusing me with chemo. In spite of my circumstances, I felt so grateful. I thank God for His continual presence which has been so pronounced and special these past seven weeks. I’m grateful for the many family members, friends, and people we have never met who have faithfully lifted us up in prayer. We feel so fortunate to be part of this awesome family of God.

We went out to eat last night and ran into a former co-worker of mine from GM. What a blessing it was to share just a little bit with Harry and Margaret Jones and have them tell us that we are in their prayers. God has been so faithful to regularly put people in our paths to encourage us.

I want to thank you who are reading this blog regularly for your words of encouragement. I am praying that God reveals more of himself to you during my battle with cancer.

The much anticipated scans have been scheduled for Friday 12/9. This is a bit later that we had originally been told. I will get another treatment on 12/7 before the scans. The outcome of the scans will determine if the chemo will continue. In many ways I feel as though the chemo is working. We are praying that the scans prove that the cancer is being destroyed.

Thank you again for your faithfulness in praying for us.
