Round three

Wayman started round three of his chemo yesterday. He has been extremely fortunate and has again had no major side effects. He is eating normally, and aside from sleeping this afternoon he has had a normal day. He even went Christmas shopping this morning, to buy me a surprise gift!

We are slowly decreasing his dose of dexamthazone, as he has no symptoms of the tumour. The issue of being in control of his mind has been one that he is working hard to achieve, and I am proud of the effort he is making, and the success he is having. God is good, and is helping us to live with this disease and to celebrate life.

We are looking forward to Christmas with our family, in our home here at Oakbank.

If you are praying for us, please thank God for His continued care of us. We are so aware of how much we have because he sent Jesus at Christmas.

On a practical level, I am feeling tired, and want so much to be able to enjoy the time over Christmas. I am grateful for the different skills that my daughters have, and I need to relax and allow them to do what they are so capable of doing in my kitchen.

Wayman will have an MRI in January at the half way point of his chemotherapy.

Now all we need is for the Australians to make a few runs, and life will be good!
