Forward Ho

Not sure if it is just me or is everyone feeling a little uptight today.  I wonder if we are all waiting for this HUGE spring storm that is being forecast for over the Easter weekend. 


 I had an awesome time at school this week celebrating the Easter story with our preschoolers.  It was so special that they seemed to truly understand that Easter is more than chocolate bunnies.  We have an amazing God who truly is alive, He didn't stay dead..  That is a huge truth to be able to grab hold of especially if you are 4 or 5 years old.


We are truly thankful  to our Lord today as Bob has spent the day doing all the medical things that keep us keep on keeping on.  At 7:00 am he was at Tom Baker receiving the aredia by intravenous.  After lunch he was  at the lab for the INR blood sample.  Then back across the city to Tom Baker Cancer Centre to meet with Dr. Bahlis.   Whooohooo no Dr. Bahlis--Bob met with the resident doctor---always a good sign.
All continues to be well for Bob.  It was decided that the next PET scan will now be put back 4 months--good sign.


For those who get the numbers:  HGB--146,  Platelets--113, Kappa/Lambda Free Ratio--1.08, Monoclonal#1--1.8, INR----1.3.


Once again we are so thankful that the myeloma is staying contained and responding to the chemo.  God is good.


We are also so thankful for the overwhelming love that is being shown to Tim and Barbie and their family through the social.  They truly need the love and encouragement from people who care for them.  We trust that very soon this last long, hard season will be over for them.  We continue to pray that God will be their source of guidance and love and grace as they travel this very tough road as a family each and every day.
