More Good News!

Since the last post Cindy has continued to make significant progress. A week ago when she was weighed at the UNM Cancer Clinic she weighed 84 pounds. I knew she was loosing weight but had no idea she had lost that much. At that time she was incredibly weak. She did not have the strength to open a bottle of Gatoraide and had a hard time even walking across the room. This is the woman that for years taught aerobics and worked out religiously. Since that time, however, she has slowly gained both weight and strength. This morning she weighed almost 94 pounds. Those 10 extra pounds are significant as we will begin another round of chemo next Tuesday if her white count and platelet numbers are sufficient. To me she seems a whole lot stronger and healthier. Thank you for your continued prayers regarding her weight gain and strength.

This morning she met with several ladies from our church who are part of the women's ministry planning team. That is an awesome sign! I continue to be amazed at Cindy's tenacity and faith. While we still have a lot of progress yet to make I see good things. The distance she has come since May is nothing short of miraculous. Praise the Lord! Please pray that her white count and platelet numbers will be sufficient to allow her chemotherapy next week. Also, pray that she will be able to tolerate the chemo OK. We are at the halfway point for her treatment. And finally pray that the drugs will continue to be effective.

Thanks also for your many prayers on my boys behalf. All in all they are doing great. School started this week and so things have been hectic around the house to say the least. Their teachers at Albuquerque Christian are a wonderful help and blessing to Cindy and me especially at this time.

Thanks to little Molly Salyer; your visits are so precious and the book you made for Cindy about rain storms and rainbows brought big smiles. Keep praying little Molly!

Have a blessed week.
