Richmond Family Updates

(Written by Becky) Mom and Dad are at the ER right now getting Mom’s hip checked out. She thinks it might be fractured as she’s had a great deal of pain the last few days, needing crutches to walk. She just had an x-ray and it was inconclusive because it’s not 3D, so she’s waiting […]

(written by Becky) Mom is in surgery right now getting a port installed to be able to receive chemo. She’s very emotionally weary. We’d appreciate your prayers for physical healing as well as emotional weariness and depression. Chemo starts in a few days. The two rounds she received in Summer 2011 went relatively ok with […]

(Written by Becky) So… Mom is going through a rough patch – low energy, chronic pain, etc. That means a few things: she’s not eating well because she doesn’t have the strength or energy to prepare stuff. And it also means that John Richmond doesn’t eat well, either. When he’s tired, he just gets junk […]

(written by Becky) Hi all, We are, perhaps, at our lowest emotionally. Please keep our (and especially Mom’s) emotions in your prayers? It’s draining to have to live with cancer as a reality day after day. It effects everything we do from the soaps we buy to how we clean the house to a rigid […]

(written by Becky) Mom has hinted at a 50’s themed party for quite some time and Dad delivered! This weekend, Mom had the shock of her life when she entered the gym of the YFC building with Dad claiming he needed to check something and, instead, was greeted with a crowd of loved ones all […]

(Written by Becky) Many of you have been asking me how Mom is, what happened in Boston, etc. Apologies for not replying to each of you individually… hope this blog post isn’t too impersonal! It’s just easier to hit two birds with one stone. Here’s the gist of it: Mom’s scan in mid-May sent us reeling a bit […]

(Written by Becky) Hi again… two posts in two days… what a record for us lately! I wanted to let you know that my brother is organizing a fundraiser to raise funds for Mom’s treatments. (Below is the poster.) If you, or anyone you know, like to rock climb, please come! And spread the word! […]

(Written by Becky) It seems like our family is treading water… waiting. We’re going through the motions of going to work, doing house projects, etc. But these take all our energy and we’ve been like hermits this past month, barely able to make it through the days before crashing in bed completely drained. We apologize […]

Postponing worship/prayer time this week..we possibly will change the night, and maybe move to the YFC building, so to be more central for those who want to come.  Keep checking this site and also facebook for info. And THANKS for your prayers.  I’m looking forward in great anticipation to the next few months! Love Chris

I would like to invite my family and friends to come to our home each week, on Tuesday nights….7:00 – 8:00 pm, to join us in a time of worship and seeking God in prayer for His will to be done in and through all of us, as we continue this cancer journey. To God […]
