Lamentations 3:22-23
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Because everything was going well and we managed to get away to Forida for 5 days - I haven't written lately. After awhile it seems that everything will just continue to go the way we want. This past week I had what might of been a focal seizure. My right hand suddenly lost co-0rdination for about 5-10 min. We called 911 from the office by the time the ambulance came everything was fine, blood pressure and everything. We did later go to Welland Hospital and check it out - they didn't have much to add. Then Friday we made an appointment with the cancer centre. They put me on anti-seizure drug and some sterioids again - as there could be some swelling on my brain due to the radiation.
What we weren't expecting is f0r them to tell us that they found 3 spots on my lungs as well as on closer examination of my liver there was a small spot there too. Not the news we wanted to hear. Our next appointment wasn't until the 24th. As all bad news - you spend some time crying, friends came over and prayed with us, faced the friends in the office this morning and Darryl took the day off and Brad coming home for the weekend. I was supposed to volunteer at Promise Keepers this weekend and John was hoping to go - but we cancelled for now. Then you tell yourself - Let God's grace kick in and carry on! Monday we start with chemo in Hamilton as we continue this cancer journey that we are travelling with many others. Likely have to go every 2 weeks for 3 hours or so.
So today we went on with life, went to the office where I love to be. We also met with the mayor of Welland and other town people to create awareness of our program. Tomorrow is another Rose City Kids - and life goes on - a DAY AT A TIME!
P.S. Our office email is down overnight - so I haven't got emails in or out for today. So Happy Birthday Greg and Jane and my sister Trudy!

Oh Jocelyn and John and family,
You are in our thoughts and our prayers. Grace and peace to you all.
Marlene and Dean
John and Jocelyn: Pete, Darren and I went to Promise Keepers last night. I went to volunteer and they all asked where you were. I shared with them what all happened this week. I just want you to know that they are praying for you in the prayer room today. Everyone missed you and said that they will keep for you and your family in their daily prayers. You are not alone in this because God has put so many people in your life to pray for you, to send you words of encouragement and everything else that you need to get through what ever comes your way. May God fill you with the hope and the peace that you need. Love a friend forever. Lorraine
