Nov. 11 (Tuesday)

Thursday of this week will mark the end of the first 5 weeks of chemo at Baptist. We have been going every day, Monday thru Friday, and, quite frankly, we are glad to see this part end. We will have 2 weeks off, then return on December 1 to begin the 2nd phase of another 5 weeks. We have several doctors appointments scheduled for the week of Nov. 17th. Then, we are going to the beach to spend some time alone and get away from Judi's work and the hospital. Jodi and her family are coming the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and staying through Sunday. We cannot wait to see Chloe and Ethan. The last time we saw them was the first weekend after Joel was admitted to the hospital in early September.

Thank you again for your prayers, cards and concern. We are very blessed to be in as good a situation as we are in. God has blessed Joel with good health during these treatments, He has watched over us as we drive back and forth every day and we still pray that this hard time for us will be a ministry to someone else.

Love to all!
