Dear Church Family & Friends;
Merry Christmas All! And as you can imagine, we will have the Merriest Christmas of all at our home this year!
Several folks have written over the past few days asking what's going on with Donna since she had her CLEAR MRI!
Donna has continued to make remarkable strides in her recovery. Her strength and stamina is becoming impressive. Examples of 'typical' days last week were: Shopping at the mall for 4 hour; meeting with a doctor in Lawrenceville who will be working with Emory and was there for 3 hours, going to a Ladies Christmas luncheon and giving her testimony to a group of over 50 ladies, going to a Ladies Christmas dinner the other night for several hours. And, she worked several hours during our churches' Walk Through Bethlehem Christmas presentation last Friday. (This is on the web at: www.walkthroughtbethlehem.com) She continues to do more stuff and chores around the house. She is having less fatigue. Amazing!
THIS WOMAN IS A TRUE MIRACLE! PRAISE THE LORD!
Since my Sunday School Class has been promoted to Coed 5 at Shadowbrook, I went ahead and got a new web site for Coed 5 at www.coed5.org. That is the site that will have the Lessons, and other stuff that can normally be found on that site. I am also going to be keeping the www.coed4.org name and I will be using that site name for Donna and her fight with Glioblastoma Multiforme. I'll also be putting some pictures of Donna and the family.
One of the purposes of Donna's site will be to offer encouragement to others who find themselves, or a family member, facing brain cancer. When Donna was first diagnosed with GBM, I went to the web to try to learn as much about this disease as I could. When I was looking for info, I found many sites of people who were in the same boat as us. They we're dealing with and coping with GBM. And some were winning the fight! Look for it in the next few weeks when I get some time. J
Today, Donna starts her second round of Temodar this evening. Hopefully she will have much less fatigue this time than last. Our Prayer Requests remain: 1.) For the Lord's will to be accomplished through Donna & our family, 2.) That the tumor NEVER EVER reappears in Donna's body again, 3.) That any of the side effects of the treatments that Donna will have will remain minimal, 4.) For Donna's next MRI in March is CLEAR. 5.) For the Lord to send other people with cancer to Donna for her to help encourage and witness to them.
Merry Christmas Everyone! We love all very much!
In His Name, Service & Love,
Frank & Donna
