Home Again, Home Again....NOT

Ken was supposed to come home this weekend.  In fact we had high hopes that he would be home by today, because he was able to figure out the problem on the machine in Belgum after just a half day of working on it.  He is NOT headed home!  He just called me from Israel.  He got there safely and will be there for a week.  There is a problem with their machine there.  We were excited to have him home, because we miss him so much, but we are trying to adjust to a longer time away. He had to push back one of his Doctor appointments again, so no news on that front, yet.  

Germany and Belgum!

Thanks so much for all of your wonderful, joyful comments. Your celebrations added so much to our celebration. We ended up going out to dinner as a family on the Monday after his treatments ended and then a week or so later Ken and I went to the "Outback" so Ken could get his favorite "Alice Spring Chicken" with garlic mashed potatoes. The most meaningful part of my celebration came with having my heart drawn out in gratitude to my Heavenly Father for his loving kindness.


The relief of no chemo was interrupted prematurely by a phone call from Ken's boss inviting him on a "vacation" to Germany. After how supportive and kind his boss has been to Ken since this whole experience began in January, Ken just could refuse. He left on Monday Oct 6th to take care of some work related problems in Dresdan Gremany for a week and then he will go from there to Brussels, Belgum for two more weeks. It has only been a little over 2 weeks since he completed his chemo and he is still trying to get a handle on his diabetis. Because of these things and more, it was hard to see him leave. We are hoping and praying that he will have the energy and health he needs to accomplish all that is required of him.


He had to reschedule his month follow-up appointment with his oncologist, but when he does go I will let you know how everything is looking. Thanks again for all of your love, faith and prayers.
