Last day in Cally.........

Well....it has been an experience. A new leg in our journey has begun. Sheri and I are excited and thankful for the future, for healing, and for God bringing us here. That being said, we are ready to go home too, and see our kids and friends! Probably the most difficult part has been focusing so intensly on cancer for so many days in a row. We didn't realize how nice it is sometimes to be distracted by everyday life. It has been great for both of us to focus on getting better. We still have a lot to learn....especially about our food...I won't bore you with details....but I never knew food could be so complicated! But it all makes common sence, so we push forward and learn. We found a clinic in Seattle to help us with some follow up treatments, so we don't have to fly back down here every 2 months, though they want to see us back in a year. You can tell the way the nurses and Doctors talk with Sheri that they have a confidence that she can get better....it's all doable they say. We agree! Thanks Oasis team, and thanks be to God for calling you to do what you do here.

Looking up!

Wow, tomorrow will be our last day at the Oasis of Hope. It has been extremely helpful. Yes, I'm off of sugar...and learning how to balance any carbs with protein. We're at the beginning of the learning curve and excited to learn more.

When we first arrived the hardest part was concentrating on ME. I'm much more comfortable focusing on others...that's fun. Then we really got into the therapy on Monday. By Wednesday I was sure therapy made teaching Kindergarten full time like a slow walk in the park. Therapy is work! What we've learned makes me feel better physically. Considering I already felt good, this should only help.

I'm missing our kids, home, friends, family, school, class, church and whole community! Can't wait to get back to our beautiful valley.

I am continuing to ask God for healing. I have always believed that He expects us to do all we can and leave the rest to Him. That is what we are doing. Sometimes God expects us to pick up a hammer and get to work. That's where we are. We have hammers in our hands ready to do our best as we come home. Having said this, I know He works through the prayers of His people, so we continue to pray with faith that He heals.

We'll be home Saturday!

Looking up!
