A note from Gingie

Dear  Family and friends, 
 I have been wanting to write to you for so long. The kindnesses extended to  Rod and I, by you, are unbelievable.
 A month ago I was able to start to write individual thank yous.  It was most upsetting to realize I had misplaced them which did not please me at all.  I have your cards and notes    as well as  the  list of treats, meals which we received.  These tangible items were so touching.  I am overwhelmed   realizing the number of  prayers offered .   I am just not able to express   thank you enough for  your gentle touch   to me in such a sweet way.
 
My family has been something else.   They are quite good at patiently continuing to tell me of the comings and goings of four months of my life.   Their care of me was so precious.  I became a nurse to be able to care for them  but they  came to care for me.  
Thank you.  Each of them did what they could do.    It makes a person get wet eyes!

Now to Him who able to keep you from falling.......... I have felt His peace from the day I got the Cancer diagnoses.    I knew it was a possible diagnosis.   I felt like I was stopped in my tracks.    But today, following five full months of, I guess I will call it treatment, like they do,  I was blessed by God with the news of no cancer today.   I will be in for doctor visits every two to three months as well as reruns of  many tests but for today ....He touched me.  And how do I feel?  Well,   I have been blesssed more than I can say and I want to be sensitive to what he wants me to do from day to day.

May He bless you and keep you and  keep His face shine on you.         Love,  Gingie

Today's Testing

Hello All:

Gingie and I went to a Sigmoidoscopsy today.  The visuals we saw indicated that there is still radiation inflammation and an ulcer.  We have an appointment with the Dr. in two weeks to get a course of treatment for the ulcer.  Will let you know more when we find details.

Thanks
Rodney
