Well, the updates have been slower than I wanted, but there has not been much to update you on for the most part, that said, there have been some changes that you should know, since you have been so wonderful in helping my family through this difficult time.

First, we have had very positive news in this fight. The tumor has shrunk, and we are waiting on scans to determine how much and what is going on. Yet, the doctor continues to tell us that everything is positive and that the response to treatment has been as good as could have been expected. This is an answer to prayer, and I believe that 100%.

Second, we had the last of the light chemo treatments yesterday. Now we will be switching to the heavy blend which will run for the next three months. The side effects switch, which is both a blessing and a curse, so we continue to covet your prayers for peace and easing of symptoms and harshness.

Third, the financial battle is unfortunately not over. We've used what has been raised to pay for some of the medical bills, but the insurance company has been extremely slow in acknowledging our deductible contributions, which has led to us paying far more out of pocket than we should have, and we have a looming deductible reset in June that will once again put us on 100% payments until we reach another $6,000.00. I doubt I need to tell you how stressful that is.

I know that many have given, and have given all they can. Please, know from the very depths of my heart that the ONLY thing I have for you is extreme gratitude. Not one shred of guilt or "well you could..." is coming from me, so please don't place it on yourself.

However, IF you are able to continue to help us, we would not only welcome it, but continue to offer you our undying thanks and grateful hearts.

Thank you all who are walking this journey with us. Prayers, giving, supporting from the Amazon list, they all have combined to make this easier, and I hope you know it and palpably feel my thankfulness.

Words alone are not enough to convey my feelings, but they are all I can give, so please accept them.

May you be, and continue to be, blessed.
