While You Were Out
Mom and Dad are back from Mayo. The doctors were surprised at how fast the cancer had grown since the last visit 10 days ago. They were able to reposition Mom's tubes for better drainage, but didn't know if they could do it again if it were needed. On the brighter side, the oncologists said that there was a new type of chemo that we could try, if mom so chooses. It's easier on the liver and has fewer side effects than other drugs. Radiation might also be a possibility - we are all going to talk to the oncologist tomorrow at BV hospital. None of the options will offer a cure, but they may buy a little time.
Jon, Kim, Ben and I all redid Mom and Dad's dilapidated main bathroom while they were at Mayo. It was nice to work hard and take our minds off of hard things during the day.

Once again, I am not at all happy with God about this news that the cancer is growing fast, yet - I will choose to acquiese to His omniscence.
Truly, you Daniels kids are the best!
(Tim and Anita, you're amazing too!)
Prayers and love to you,
Dee
(From Glee) Our Bible study group prayed for you - as we always do - on Thursday afternoon. We're praying for wisdom as you consider other treatments, comfort from physical symptoms & spiritually, and that you will feel the peace & presence of the Lord each day.
On a lighter note - I love those pictures, Anita. I'm sure you and your kids are getting a good chuckle...but the joke's on them - don't they know they turn into their parents as they get older?! :) Glee
