I was also going to post snapshots gangnam style but while pictures of me with dark shades made it past the censor the closeup photos of my **** lady's ****** didn't.
So what else to talk about?
Part of the reason for the delays in posting is that we are still awaiting the tests to catch up with what we are seeing. It really looks like the hormone therapy is managing Judy's disease. She is feeling better and better each day. At the last oncologist meeting he said she has the sparkle back in her eye. He set the next appointment for a months time. So we can see her regaining strength after this last op, but we still have to wait for the scan to confirm what is happening with her tumors. Clearly though it's hard to keep down the mounting excitement.
When I picked up the 'sistas' (oh yeah they are gangsta) I said we feel fraudulent having you come all this way to see us, because Judy is really starting to feel well again. Happily they stuck to family tradition and ignored me.
After a wonderful visit Esther has gone home again, albeit with a vicious cold that Troy has managed to pass around to all the family, except Judy and Sandra. Sandra is being kept behind for another week to see if Troy can complete his Typhoid Mary mission.
Eliot came home for 2 days over Thanksgiving and saw the state of Troy, Esther, and me and decided he was having none of this. So he spent the 2 days with a bandana tied bandit style over mouth and nose. Friday dawned to see another sick Snoekie.
So Thursday (Thanksgiving day) was pretty muted for most of us although we did spend time in gratitude for, not only the amazing love and support from friends and family near and far, but also the Lord's answers to our prayers (some of them!) for Judy.
In other news - We have more visitors coming this weekend, followed by Stella and her husband. Such a blessing and encouragement!
I have also had my eye surgery put forward - it'll be this week! I'm hoping that it will improve my night vision as well as being able to see my computer screen properly again.
In the meantime I'll continue to hone my YouTube skills - hey - have you seen the guy who does the evolution of dance?
Oh, you are hip! At least hipper than I...I thought the post was fabric related (gingham) and that I would see everyone dressed in checked apparel...
ReplyDeleteWhat encouraging news to hear! I know it's small in many ways, but large in others. God is so merciful and faithful. We will continue to pray that he heals Judy and gives you BOTH peace about the entire trial. And prayer for patience while waiting for results.
The family photos are lovely. Kids have grown up so so fast. We must really take the time to get a family photo of us as well.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Love the pictures; thanks for posting. We'll see you all at the end of December.
ReplyDeleteLove your humour, Ron! You make me laugh. I'm so glad to hear Judy's feeling a bit better. We'll definitely continue to keep you all in our prayers.
