It’s been a while since we posted, so you may be wondering what’s been going on. These days, no news is good news. Dad is in the middle of his radiation therapy and it’s going very well. Driving down to Baylor 5 days a week makes it kind of like a part time job! He is tolerating the treatment, with the only real side effect being extreme fatigue. In combination with the radiation, he’s doing oral chemotherapy. He finishes radiation on June 30. After that the plan is to do surgery 3-5 weeks later. We’re anxious to get going on the vaccine and gene therapy. We are grateful to the Lord for how well things are going. Dad looks great and feels good most of the time.

Mom and Dad made a quick trip to Oregon last weekend for my (DeeDee’s) birthday. It was awesome to see them, and they surprised me by bringing Kristin from LA. We had a wonderful, quiet visit. The picture above was taken by our friend, Lindsay, while we were listening to our “Family Anthem”, We Will Remember, by Tommy Walker. It’s on his new CD – you should get it if you haven’t heard it. We’ve adopted this song as a declaration of God’s faithfulness. If you stop by their house, you can be sure they’ll play it for you!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support for Dad. This is a journey of faith, and we are trusting God for grace for each day. He’s faithful every day, and good all the time. Your notes and emails and postings on this blog mean so much to Dad and are very encouraging to him. Thanks for the love you’ve lavished on us all.
