I haven't posted for awhile...life has been hectic since Christmas has passed. I have some great news! Joel and Wendy are expecting a baby in September! We're so happy for them! They'll make such wonderful parents...they both love the Lord and are committed to Him and to each other. I'm so thankful that the Lord brought Godly spouses to my children.
I talked to all the "kids" this weekend and they are all doing well. Myron has accepted a promotion at Gospel Light and is travelling to California next week to learn more about his new responsibilities. He and Molly are coming home to see us in a couple weeks...I'll get to see Betsy again! Joel and Wendy are doing well...she hasn't had any morning sickness yet...I hope she doesn't at all! Joel was given an excellent evaluation for his actuarial work and received a nice raise. Wendy is starting back to her teaching jobs at LCC and MSU. They keep so busy! I wish we could see them more often!
John and I spent Saturday evening and Sunday with Dad and Mom. She started back on the chemotherapy medication. She has to take 5 days of a large dose of Temodar and then be off of it for 23 days...then begin again. She seems to be tolerating it fairly well although she does seem to have bronchitis and that has caused her some problems. We had her sleep in her recliner last evening to help her to breathe better. Our biggest concern right now is her lack of appetite. She's lost over 40 pounds and is very weak. It's difficult for her to even stand up to walk to the bathroom using a walker. We keep trying to offer her foods we know she loves but she has no desire to eat at all. If she gets much weaker, it will be difficult for her to get out of bed. She seems to be having a little trouble with her vision too. She sees things that aren't there and we aren't sure if it's an eye problem or something neurological. She still seems sharp in her thinking at times and then at other times, is very confused. The course of this illness is such an unknown...we really don't know what to expect. We're so thankful she was able to enjoy Christmas with the family.
