I can't believe it is Tuesday!

And I haven't posted in sooooooo long. That means that life is back to hectic, as usual. The weekend was good but tiring for Mark. By Sunday afternoon he was realizing that he doesn't yet have his energy back. He just has a great excuse for taking a few extra naps!

Monday we returned to Dr. Crim for a follow-up. Fortunately, we beat any of this crazy weather and had a very smooth trip. He was pleased with Mark's progress. Everything is going just as he planned it. We also saw the nurse specialist in his office. This is the fourth one we have seen and we now have 4 different opinions, all of which we really have a lot of confidence in. These ladies have all been so experienced and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, there is a lot of trial and error to getting it right. God just knows that Mark is always up for a challenge. And, like I said before, we are learning so much. We go to the oncologist tomorrow and will have much to discuss then. Look for more updates.

Also, hurray for Justin. He is now home and is improving daily. I hear he has them catering to him at home! He is eating, sleeping well, and has even made a trip out of the house. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and to the wonderful people who have been feeding them over the last couple of weeks. They have some really great support down that way as well.

Both of our families have been so blessed by God and all of you. I know that is hard to see sometimes, but when I look around at how much worse things could be, I know how fortunate we are. Mark and Justin are on the road to being back to themselves. We are so lucky for that. I hear Justin talking about soccer and Mark wanting to drive and get back to work. Pretty soon we won't be able to slow them down.

So thankful both "BOYS" are improving daily. Each day shows a little progress. Glad your trip beat the ice. It was "scary" driving home from work this afternoon. Dread the AM.
Thanks for the wonderful update.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !
I Love you guys.
My love & many prayers,
