New Month

Hey Everybody! We hope you all had a good holiday weekend. I came back to Clinton on Monday evening, stopping by Raleigh to visit Cindy's mom and dad, Mac and Grace, and to pick up Luci for a spell. Mac had grilled some pork tenderloin and Grace had fixed some scrumptious vegetables for supper. That sure was good!
Overall, Cindy had what I would consider a good weekend. We enjoyed a good visit with our Clinton friends, Jeff, Sarah, and Luke on Sunday. Our Charlotte friend, Debbie continues to be such a help to Cindy, and was busy Saturday helping get Cindy's room, flowers, cards, and incidentals in order. Debbie and David take turns coming to visit, when they don't come together, and they have really been such a blessing to both of us.
Cindy is still working on the elimination functions, but the physical and occupational therapy seem to be going very well. It has been 26 days since the surgery. Cindy has been diligent in her exercises, and pushing herself to become more mobile. Unless there are changes, it appears that she has progressed well enough physically that she is to be released from the Rehab hospital this coming Saturday (apparently just in time for Hannah). As of today she has had 4 radiation treatments out of a proposed series of 15, which means she will need 11 more. Since she can only get 1 a day, and none on the weekends, that means that she will likely need to remain in Charlotte through next week and into the week after next (probably until September 17th). We have not determined what arrangements we will make, but God's provision has seen us through thus far, and we are convinced that He will continue to provide. We ask that you continue to remember Cindy in prayer. This type of cancer is notoriously tenacious, and has been particularly so since it has moved to her back. We believe that we are doing what is medically appropriate, and with your help we are hopeful that our petitions to the Great Physician will, by His grace, bear healing fruit for Cindy. "Call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which though knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3 May you all know God's rich blessings today!
