Greetings! The last few weeks have thrown a few challenges at us. About 2 weeks ago Julie got a call from her family in Arizona that her mom Linda was dying. Less than an hour later we had Julie on a plane to Arizona. She spent the night with her mom who has been battling alzheimers for years. Julie flew home the next day knowing the next phone call from AZ would probably be “the” call and it was. The next morning her sister called to let her know her mom had passed away. Even though the call was not a surprise it was still hard for her to hear the news. As if Julie doesn’t have enough on her plate, she took it all in stride continued in her studies and waited to hear from her family when the services would be held. One week later (last weekend) we all flew out to AZ for one night to attend the memorial services for Linda.  The day after we got home, I spiked a fever that didn’t want to go down. Julie not wanting to take any chances due to my compromised immune system, took me to the ER where we stayed till 3:30 am. After running labs on my blood,a chest x ray, and talking to my oncologist they released me. My fever is gone and I seem to be getting better just some congestion and a nagging cough. Julie however decided to get sick too cause she didn’t want to be the only one. My next chemo is scheduled for this week on Thursday and my oncologist wants to do an MRI on the same day. So Tuesday blood work and Thursday MRI and Chemo. I will be updating as soon as I feel up to it. As always thank you so much for all your prayers and support.

I continue to rely on God through these challenges and I still believe He will only give us what we can handle. In His love, Jeff
