Happy New Year

We had two Christmas celebrations! The first one was at Mark and Sandy's house. We had a delightful Chinese dinner from The Great Wall. I, of course, could only imagine how the different items tasted. But we had a delightful time. The second celebration was on January 3rd--the only time everyone could be together. It was a rollicking good time. We all laughed so hard as Drew joined Nick singing soprano on "O Holy Night." We didn't know of Drew's considerable talent!

I had finished my last infusion and was feeling pretty good. This last round was herbal and not chemical. The doctor said that that was all they can do for me here in Elgin. The next possibility is anther experimental program that the University of Chicago is offering if I qualify. If not, we will just have to let nature take its course. I still know I'm in God's hands. Whatever His plan He has for me is what I want. I am trying to use my best moments to write the sequel to Do Not Go, My Love. It's coming along better now. At first it was a hopeless bunch of slips of paper with notes, often not dated!

A great big praise is that Ruth's procedure on her mito-valve went very well. We praise the Lord for that and are thankful for the many prayers on her behalf.
