Life if full of ups and downs and that is especially true when you have cancer and even more true when you are on chemo. We live for results of blood tests, CT scans and other sophisticated indicators.
Last week Kathy had a CT scan and on Friday her doctor called and told her that much to her surprise the results indicate that the tumors have shrunk even further!! This, after being off chemo for six weeks while she was in the hospital and recovering. It is nothing short of amazing. I was telling a friend of mine at work about it. He and his family have been praying for Kathy for some time. When I told him the results and how amazing it was he said matter of factly, "Do you suppose God had anything to do with it?" That about sums it up. How else can it be explained.
We went to Monterey last weekend to see David and Kathryn. Kathryn had been having some problems with the pregnancy and we wanted to see them and help if possible. As we were driving there they called and said they had received confirmation from the doctors that there had been a miscarriage. I feel so sorry for them. I think this is especially tough when it is your first pregnancy. They seem to be handling it well and we hope there are no further complications.
Life is full of ups and downs.

I'm glad to hear Kathy's tumors are shrinking! That is great. That is really sad about David & Kathryn. They are lucky to have ya'll near enough that you can come over for the weekends to help out.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, we're doing well. Disapointed, but it's a really common thing. We almost feel like we're guilty of not being sad enough, since we're both sort of like, "Bummer. Oh well!" Thanks though for everyone's messages and prayers that we've received. It means a lot.
