Praise the Lord!

I thought I’d better send a quick note to let everyone know that Mark got his test results today.  He’s cancer-free!!!  The VA decided that rather than making him come down to Seattle on my birthday, they’d just call him today and let him know their findings.  Needless to say, we were thrilled.  Thank you, Jesus!

Back in Birch Bay

We got up early this morning and had a nice continental breakfast at the Days Inn Hotel.  Then we went to the VA where Mark had some testing done.  We won’t know the full results for a couple weeks yet, but the preliminary examination sounded good.  They even joked with him and draped his hospital gown over his arm like Caesar!  I drove us home and had to stop at a rest stop for a nap, but we’re home now and looking forward to getting back to business as usual.  Please pray that the results of Mark’s tests will be good.  Thanks!

She’s Baa-ack!

Just wanted to say a brief “Hey!” to all of you who have sent your prayers and wishes for me.  My hands are beginning to show signs of improvement.  A big thanks goes out to Mark who has kept me connected with you all, and to Aunt Marg who has been a big help throughout this week.  It’s not over yet, but I am encouraged!  –Denise
