October...already!

Good Evening Everyone! It has been a busy week and a half, consequently I have not taken the oppportunity to post a comment to the blog. I don't know how many of you are continuing to check for updates, but our friend, Ulla told me tonight that she was still checking, and she suggested that I continue to post. Thanks for the encouragement, Ulla and thanks for staying with Cindy last Friday morning. Our friend, Rebecca visited with Cindy on Friday afternoon. Cindy's mom, Grace has been with us since Sunday, and is such a blessing to us.
This past week and a half has been something of a mixed bag for Cindy. She continues to walk slowly with a walker around the house, and uses a wheel chair for longer distances. She also requires assistance going up and down the stairs. She has been going (and is continuing to go) to physical therapy, and those sessions help her to feel better, and we hope they are working to make her stronger. She had a mammogram and an ultra-sound last week that were both somewhat inconclusive. We have a pre-procedure appointment scheduled for Friday in Charlotte with a surgeon who will likely perform a needle biopsy probably next week. Cindy has also developed a urinary tract infection, and has had fevers off and on over the last several days, and has of course not been feeling well. She has been on an antibiotic since last Friday that, while hopefully effective can, and apparently has produced headaches. She got a new antibiotic today, so we are hoping that the headaches will diminish, but that the infection will be eliminated.
As you can readily see, the challenges continue, but Cindy maintains her hopeful outlook, and has even been able to teach the weekly Daniel Bible study along with Rebecca. We thank each of you for your past thoughtfulness, and we continue to solicit your prayers for wisdom, strength, and healing. May each of you have a blessed day!
