Richmond Family Updates

Join with me in worship as you listen to this hymn, one of my most favorites. I pray for each one of you reading this blog, as you care for me and pray for me, that you too would know  how “wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ” for you. […]

(Written by Becky) “It takes a village to…”  … you finish the sentence. This phrase is used in several contexts, like “It takes a village to raise a child.” And for us, “It takes a village to get through this journey.” There is no way we could get through this without our friends and family. […]

(Written by John) I want to invite everyone to pray with us Sunday night. We will gather at 1st Baptist in Scotia beginning at 6:00. Chris has a CT scan on Monday that will indicate the effect chemo has had and will determine the next course of action. Thank you all for your continued prayers.

(Written by Becky) We were bored today. And that’s a good thing, I think. Mom and Dad were both very restless today which means both their energy levels are up and they felt like doing something. They both went to the office for a few hours this morning and it really invigorated both of them. […]

(written by Becky) Short update – lots to do tonight! Mom’s blood tests looked good today. Her white blood cell count is higher, now in the normal range. However, her red blood cells are a bit lower.

(written by Becky) I’m taking Mom to the Cancer Care Center tomorrow for a blood test to check all her levels. Will you please pray that things have improved? We’ll keep you updated…

(Written by Becky) Mom sat in a chair outside today in the sun to supervise the big garage clear-out with a few friends and family members (Mom had wanted to do this for a while to clear out clutter). However, before and after this, she was quite weary and achy. Today and yesterday, she’s slept […]

(written by Becky) Today is a hard day. It’s a slow day, no visitors, not much to do around the house. But Mom’s energy is very low and she’s very “achy.” She had two appointments today – one for her IV of high dose Vitamin C and another with her chiropractor. Other than that, she’s […]

(written by Becky) Mom wanted me to give you a quick update. She’s getting chemo right now as I type. I’m sitting here with her talking in between her naps. It’s going ok. They are a little worried about her white blood cell count so they are giving her a shot tomorrow to stimulate her […]
