STRENGTH FOR THE JOURNEY II

Since my last blog - dad is now over half way through with the scheduled treatments!  Praise the Lord!


This pic was dad's 6th treatment - but he has already finished #7!!  We are still praising the Lord for minimal side effects.  There was some sickness in March, but at this point, things are looking much better.

Dad has been blessed with the ability to keep his chin up and rely on God's strength - especially since He told him He was healing him!  One bit of "therapy" has been to go to Frankie & Rick's once - to "turkey" hunt.  Seems the turkeys did come - but they were there 3 days later.  Oh well, nice relaxation point for dad and still close enough to home.  Glad he was able to go.


Daddy, Frankie & Rick
So many people have continued to pray for dad and be as helpful as they can.  Tabby called and sang & played to dad - GREAT therapy!  Too bad I don't have a pic of that!  Or, better yet, a musical video.  ;)

Jean Moore & Irma Williams have continued to bring food to mom & dad.  Even my friend Christina (who hadn't even met mom & dad until she did this...) made a marvelous, scumptious meal for them.  AND, she even cooked extra for me and my family!  Here's a pic of one of the servings I had - not including the cranberry sauce....


Thank you God for providing mental and physical strength for this journey!
And, thank you God for blessing me
 with the ability to use FMLA so I can be with dad some during this journey!
Seeeee - there are blessings - even with burdens ;)
