Slow, but hard.
(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 rested most of the day. This has been the case since Friday’s chemo. It’s really drained her this time.
Dad is fine. He needs to keep his leg elevated or else his pain increases. But if he keeps resting, he has no pain. However, he’s REALLY bored. (If you’re on his phone list, watch out! He hit the phones with a vengeance today.)
Last week was a busy week with a few birthday parties and also a few times with family cooking for us. I think this week is going to be a bit slower, which will be good for Mom. However, please keep the calls and messages coming. In a few days from now, please offer to come visit her! Visitors really energize her and she needs this encouragement. I think she just needs until about Wednesday to recover from chemo and rest.
Thanks for your continued prayers!

There are many, me included, that think of your mom and pray for her often throughout the day. Continuing to pray for sweet times with God and with each other and for continued healing. We’ll be by to visit when we get back in town.

“and the work of righteousness will be peace; and the service of righteousness is quietness and confidence, forever.
-Isaiah 32:17
Our righteousness comes from our faith in what God does through Jesus.
“Therefore, his faith was also credited to him (Abraham) as righteousness. Now not for his sake only . . but for our sake also to whom it will be credited”
-Romans 4:20-25
Your faith has brought you righteousness Chris. Blessings, Bob & Mary
