Hey Everyone...

I feel bad that I haven't let you all know how I am doing until now. I feel really good!!! PRAISE GOD!! This last treatment was about the same as the first and not nearly as bad as the second. Even better, I have only one treatment with the same drugs. Then I get to start another type, (although they've told us the nausea won't be near as bad).

We're also thankful that we have been pretty healthy. Tim and the kids have not been sick in months and I've only had one cold since I started chemo. Now that cold and flu season seems to be upon us and many of our friends are sick, we're praying that our health continues.

We are so grateful for your prayers. You have been so faithful, we will never be able to express how much we appreciate you and your love for us and for God. Good thing God takes care of those blessings, He does a better job at it than I would do anyway!

I feel good emotionally, physically and spiritually. I have never experienced being carried by God's grace quite like I am right now. Our pastor, Dr. Jeremiah, has been preaching on God's Amazing Grace and it has been awesome to see God working that grace out in my life. I am forever changed by Him and this whole experience.

We took a much needed family day this last weekend to take a short hike and have a "pizza party" on the rug in the living room. I've attached some pics of my beautiful family from that day, notice my new hairdo!! I've actually had people tell me how great it is that I haven't lost my hair yet, oh don't I wish...

Next chemo is Nov. 4th.

We love each of you...Nea, Tim and the kids
