Walking the tightrope


Nathan and Cassie are here for a very short visit, and Wayman is loving having time with them. Nathan is busy helping with practical things and we are very grateful for his help. Cassie is a wonderful calming influence by just being here as she continues to work in their business from our dining room table. Our only disappointment is that the weather has turned cold and wet. We can't wait for them to see our home in sunshine!

When Wayman was diagnosed with a glioma, we discovered that his drug regime was vital to helping him enjoy his life. The wonderful drugs that are available today have enabled us to keep living normally in these most unusual times. But we walk a tightrope constantly as we try to keep the dosage just right. All the medical consultants have agreed that this is the key to treating a brain tumour. Presently he is doing very well, and is enjoying being able to participate in life with purpose and good humour. This requires us to tailor his drugs to his particular situation. I am grateful for his patience as I try to play "nurse" in managing this.

A family of ducks has made it's home on our dam. It has been a nice distraction! I couldn't get very close to them so this is my attempt at a photo.


I have watched this little family for days now, and have loved to see the parents protecting and guiding the ducklings. Life continues.........
