6s

So this past Wednesday Cindi went through her 6th chemo. This new drug "taxol" is quite a journey for her. She has to endure some pretty severe muscle and bone ache and it is not easy. I am so proud of her and her perseverance through it all. 2 more treatments to go and then we are done this chemo-thing and it is time for a well deserved break. Last treatment - December 12th - the date we are shooting for - less than 4 weeks away.

Then after a few more weeks Cindi should be on the mend and even perhaps growing some hair back. I am praying that she is feeling better for Christmas or at least New Years and we can take it from there. I took some time over the last week and a half to unwind and rejuvenate. I spent 6 days in Algonquin Park with my son Matthew canoeing and portaging through a little snow, some nice weather and a day of rain. Simple things can be very restorative and it has been years since I camped with my son.

All in all these two 6s are good things. One step closer to being done and one step closer to feeling restored. Both of us are a bit burnt out and longing for better days. We know that these times will surely pass and there are new things to enjoy and perhaps overcome on the horizon. One foot forward and then the next. Thank you to all of you who have been there in prayer and support over the last few months. You are appreciated so much. Peace and grace to you all.
