The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
I really appreciate all of the prayers and support it definitely makes this journey a little easier. Thought I would give everyone another little update on how things are going. Right now, I’m doing really well! My pain is pretty well managed… to the extent that I am not taking anything for pain. If I feel especially sore I’ll take some ibuprofen. But it is nothing like when I first came home. I actually wonder if I even had anything in my system then. I didn’t take anything when I left the hospital. 🤷🏼♀️ I suppose I maybe had something from when they put me under?? 🤔
Mom and Dad came up Tuesday morning, they got here about an hour before I had to leave for the hospital. Grandpa took the kids to the park and Grandma took them either shopping or out for coffee (it just depended on what kids she had at the time on what they did.) We were right back at it with school on Wednesday! I’m not as strict on my start time right now but we are getting it done! So I’m happy with that! My sisters came up this weekend too! (My parents went home Friday morning and my sisters arrived Friday evening!) It was nice to get some quality sister time. 🙂
My follow up appointments are on Tuesday (Nov 1st). (Three of them!) We’ll find out then if we got clear margins this second time around. I think we’ll find out more about what my future treatment plan is as well. As far as prayer requests go: 1) Continued prayers for wisdom for my doctors. 2) Wisdom for Aaron and I as we make treatment choices. 3) Continued healing for me (the incisions are healing great!) 4) We don’t know what we will hear on Tuesday. You can pray that we can handle whatever news we get well and that Jesus can shine through us. After the first follow up appt (the one where my treatment plan pretty much did a 180 and we found out I would have to do chemo and radiation) my oncologist said “You guys are handling this really well.” All I could say was we have a lot of people praying for us right now. 🙂
You do have a lot of people praying for you, and we will continue to do so. Wonderful pictures! Amazingly the entire family appears to be handling this well. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

Awww great to hear you and doing well and that all the family have been in and out.
Hugs my friend!
❤️ It was great getting to hang out with them all!
So good to have family support and prayers and church support, “Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” Is. 41:10
It was so good to meet your sisters again and to figure out who is who and where they are. Crystal is at Pastor Nelson’s church, right? They are praying for my son Matthew and the coming new church plant. That is a fun connection. I’m so glad you could have sister time.
Yep! The older I get the smaller this world seems
It’s fun having connection points!
