Enjoying the Weekend

I've neglected to update this blog, but it was all for good reasons. Jim has been feeling good and got the okay to be out in public, so we have been enjoying our weekend. We enjoyed a visit with Jim's parents on Friday and attended Brad's Christmas concert with the Fort Wayne Children's Choir. Saturday was date night for Jim and I when we enjoyed dinner out, and Sunday was the first time in a while that Jim was able to attend church. It was great for him to see everyone again and for everyone to see him. That's always an encouragment.

Jim had a doctor's appointment last Friday, and while his blood counts have gone up and no transfusions were needed, they are not high enough for him to undergo more chemotherapy. They asked him to return again on Tuesday and will check his numbers again then. If they are sufficient, he will be admitted for another round of chemo.

Please continue to pray for our family as even though we are anxious to get all these treatments over with, we still do not look forward to this tough week of chemo. Pray that the side effects would be minimal for Jim and that we would wait upon God for His timing in regard to the upcoming Christmas holiday.
