Most of my health status remains unchanged and my energy is slowly and seemingly continually, improving. My vision is stable,
slightly wonky but unchanged as long as I get adequate rest and nutrition. I tolerated my last round of chemo the best
yet with only mild fatigue. I only have
2 more rounds of chemo!!!! Slowly (and
sporadically), my physical activity is increasing and I am becoming used to the
cyclic nature of energy ups and downs related to chemo. See below for more health specifics.
Praise God for:
- My sick leave benefits
- Stefanie, our nanny, and her continued lovely presence in
our home 4 days a week
- (that sick leave benefits allow finances to pay Stefanie!)
- Physical activity re-entering my life and our weekends
transitioning from crazy, chaos awfulness to soul-filling (still tiring ;)
family activities like time at the splash park and a nature walk at Flood
Falls
- A steadiness of my heart
- Our community of support
Pray for:
- Healing! (See last post)
- Sustained energy to enjoy my family
- Marriage strength – Our marriage is strong, but the
pressures on it with our family and health demands are apparent
- Good report (no tumor growth) on my MRI early June
- Energy for increasing physical activity, which I so love
to participate in
- Wisdom in pursuing new passionate ideas ever brewing in my
head: to be wise to follow my heart in these areas, but to be patient and also
wise in allocating my energy.
- Helpful tips from the dietician next week to have
health-filled as well as practical advice in order to “fuel” my body well
- Summer holidays!!! We will be away from home for over 3
weeks --- Heading to the Shuswaps for a week with friends, visiting in Saskatchewan ,
then spending a week at family at Camp

I love you and I depend on you, my supporters. Thank you.
I have been thinking of you and praying constantly for your healing, and for your energy levels to be such that you can really enjoy special times with your family. I'm happy to read here that you are able to do so right now! I will continue to pray for complete healing, that the scan in June will show the tumour(s) to have disappeared totally. Anything is possible with God and He tells us to pray for our heart's desires. We don't know how He will answer this prayer, but I'm joining you in praying it. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in a practical way right now. Sending love to you and your family.
