Keeping on

From Ian:

Morning all

Well not much to report today. Di did better yesterday though she still gets frustrated with herself and is exhausted after 4 hours of therapy. She is very determined to fight it all. Radiation was cancelled today as we will get it closer to home. The therapy will take 6 weeks and 5 days a week. They cannot use the gamma knife as the tumour has tentacles spreading through out the brain. Rather like an octopus. The staples were not taken out yesterday so hope today. A comment was made by friends that she looked good with short hair. I tend to agree. Diana's roommate is a Dominican sister. She is about 90 and has been crippled with polio. She is such a darling and reminds me of mother Theresa. I help her with eating anyhow she has her whole Monastery praying for Diana!!!

Well you all have a great day.

  1. Hi both, I just want you to know you are very much on my heart and in my prayers through these days. I'm sure you are both looking forward to being home and surrounded by familiar things and friends.
    I pray that today, and every day ahead, you will sense the comforting arms of Jesus.

  3. Hello Di
    We just want you to know that we have been thinking about you every day since we heard your news. God is absolutely amazing!!! We are so pleased to hear how He is working in you and the whole family. Know that He is holding you in the palm of His hand. You are so precious to Him. Even though there is much pain for you all now, "joy comes in the morning". We will be visiting Andrew, Laura and precious littl Rachel tonight, and will give each of them a big kiss and a hug from you. We love you very, very much!!! Warwick and Lizelle (Isaiah 43:19)Ian,we've heard how amazing you've been with Di. May the Lord strengthen you with His love in those times that are hard. When praying for Di, Warwick got a picture of driftwood which the Lord took to sculpt into something. Warwick believes this is for you, but you will have to ask the Lord what He's wanting to communicate to you in this. Much love...
