Yesterday and today's Bible Reading: Deut. 26-29; Mark 14:27-72

On Thursday, our home health care nurse removed the staples from 2 of the 3 incisions on Joyce's leg. Everything is healing up quickly and cleanly - thank You Lord! A Physical Therapist also came by yesterday and was impressed with how well Joyce was moving since last week.
Next week the PT plans to replace the walker with a cane. But Joyce still has a lot ahead of her :-( Next week she starts a series of 10 treatments of radiation therapy - every day for 10 days excluding weekends. The radiation will target the tumor that weakened her femur bone and tho she may have some discomfort from the treatments, it's supposed to sterlize the tumor and take away a lot of the pain. Then she continues with her chemo.

Next week she also will be having a CT scan and blood work done to assess how effective this current course of chemo is doing. Pray it will show remission!

I'm doing OK. Tired to say the least but in good spirits. As I've said before, it's a real honor to take care of my wonderful wife. I'm so blessed to be able to be with her and not worry about the church as well. We have a great team of pastors and leaders to care for our flock at CCE. Pray for them, help them, support them as best as you can. If CCE is your home church, I encourage you to get or stay involved, serving somewhere.

Hope you have a very blessed and joy filled weekend!

In His Arm's,

Pat
