Bob's new second home!!

Last week BOB was introduced to his new "second home" as he began to get his dialysis treatments at a community clinic just five miles from our home. Here he is all hooked up and relaxing in a lovely recliner instead of a hospital bed!

He goes to Panorama Community Renal Unit three evenings a week--Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Since Valentine's Day was on a Tuesday this year, we had a special dinner the night before. Bob barbecued steak and it was delicious. That was topped off with his all-time favourite dessert pictured below!!

We continue to marvel at God's love and goodness to us and for the gift of one another's love and companionship on life's journey.

KIM is beginning to count the weeks until she will be finished with chemo. Her third chemo (two weeks ago) really took a lot from her, but after nine days, her energy and enjoyment of life slowly returned and this week she even rode her horse!! Her fourth chemo will be next Friday, Feb. 24th, with two more chemo treatments following that. Tim is holding down the fort amazingly well, and with the help of Auntie Barb and the support of friends and church family, they are doing well.

JIM is gaining in strength and is riding his bike almost an hour each day. Getting out in the sunshine on his bicycle is great therapy for both body and spirit. He's trying to eat several small meals throughout the day and is managing to maintain his weight (which is at least 25 pounds under what he used to weigh). Next week he'll have a CT scan and bloodwork, and we're hoping and praying that there won't be any evidence of cancer activity.

We'll update the blog again next Friday, unless there's something special to report sooner. Thanks again for your love, support, and prayers for us.
