Well, I just read my last post and decided that not much has changed with Jeff...he's still pretty depressed (although we have 2 meds that should start working a bit better here in a few days)...the headaches & nausea, which got a little worse after my last post, have settled down again...the last 3 days, he hasn't had more than 1-2 (not too severe) headaches per day and the nausea is not as severe either!!! Praise God!!!! He has to take the Chemo again during Thanksgiving week, so please pray that the side affects lessen, so he can enjoy the holiday.
For those of you with access to my sister's blog, you know we had "Trunk or Treat" at our church (Dalaynee was a pink poodle, I thought is was a lamb...but was corrected) and that we went to Malibu...here's a few photos that Laur didn't post...
**TRUNK OR TREAT**
Caring for Mom, BGC (Before getting candy).
Daddy & Dalaynee, AGC (After getting candy).
**MALIBU**
Shooting the breeze! Relaxing by the pool (um, I mean, Ocean)!
Holy Cow (not what I really said)...this water is cold!!!!! Of course Dalaynee didn't feel the cold...she's laughing her head off about my screaming!!!
Playing in the water and Posing for Auntie Laur
Saturday, Nov 3rd, was "Papa's" birthday...When you're 3, birthdays & candles are the BEST!!!!!
We had a WONDERFUL relaxing time! THANK YOU YARGERS!!!!
We now have a date for the next MRI...Nov 19th in the afternoon...please pray that the results show shrinkage or no tumor at all!!! Also, pray for my friend Susan as she is again back in the hospital with Meningitis...and fluid buildup...she may be there for a week or so...also, Mike, her husband has been battling gull stones and was looking into gull bladder surgery when Susan was admitted, so they are going through the ringer right now!
As for me...in Coffee Break this past Wednesday, part of the lesson was about submitting to God's will and not trying to figure out our lives on our own. Wow! Even though that's difficult in any situation it's really difficult when you're dealing with life and death, I am afraid of what God's will is...please pray that Jeff & I get to a point that we can completely submit and be thankful for this trial and joyful in the midst of it. Honestly, there are some days when I can be joyful, but other days it's harder.
Dalaynee is doing better at school with the hitting thing, so that is a definite praise! I just spoke with Zack tonight and it looks like school is going good for him and Andrew is doing pretty good as well, he's cleaning pools again and seems to make ends meet.
As always...we are most grateful for the love and support we've received from our church family, our friends and family...The Lord truly provides!!!!! We continue to ask that God help us to be a blessing as we have been blessed

PS-thank you to the anonymous giver of cash that we received in the mail on Friday...you are one of the many blessings in this journey!!!

Thanks girl, we are keeping you all in our prayers. Glad you have 'Coffee Break'. That has to be a good out
I also thought your little one was a lamb.
We will continue to pray for healing. Submitting to God is difficult especially in this situation. We will pray for peace, understanding, patience and above all....complete healing. Thanks for the updates. The pictures were beautiful too. Love Ya.
