Getting There

Sorry to be so far between postings. I'm happy to report that Jack is doing very well and that we are at the end of the fifth week. That means only 6 more travel days to go. Only 12 more ferry rides. Can't believe we've been on the ferry 48 times in the last 5 weeks.


Jack's sister Mae is officially "on board" and is creating wonderful meals for us. We are loving the food and pampering we are getting from both her and Jean. Don't know what we would do without their love and support. Brother Don also, our faithful Seattle side driver who greets us every morning with a smile and two big dogs, drives us to the University Hospital, and patiently waits for us to return us to the ferry.



As we face the last days of this part of the journey, Jack is really feeling the fatigue. Even the naps on the ferry have become precious to his well being. He also is trying to stay away from places where he may catch a cold or the flu. He is not susceptible through the chemo, however, just being so tired can make it easier for him to catch bugs. I'm doing good but more and more need that afternoon nap. We face only one day at a time.



To our friends at HCC, we are really missing seeing you. Hopefully we can get out there for church by the middle of April. By then Jack should have most of his strength back and will feel like venturing out. Meanwhile, we covet your prayers, cards and e-mails.



We will truly celebrate the end of his radiation treatments and chemotherapy next week. After that we have to wait 4 weeks for the MRI that will tell us the results for all the treatments. We are optimistic that this will be a "done deal". We are seeing miracles all around us and know that we are truly blessed with each and every one of you.

P.S. - For those who are keeping track, today is our 12th wedding anniversary! It goes by fast, and we appreciate every day we are together.
