One down thirteen to go
Repeating Psalms 56:3 " What time I am afraid I will trust in thee" I waited today while they radiated Orin's brain entirely from all directions. We understand that the tumors will cause problems we don't even want to think about if they dont do the treatments , still, the radiation is frightening to us after the problems we experienced in the past. But we got through it and then I treated Orin to a surprise... we got a new Puppy!
Our little Maltese got killed several months ago and Orin has been missing her more than I realized. I found a six month old shih zhu yorkie mix and she is just right for us. She has been on Orins lap ever since we got home.
We really are doing ok. We decided it was time to have a family portrait. We had been kind of waiting until Lily got a little older. But she is eight months now even though she is still pretty bald Orin is going to be that way soon so we decided it might be time! We'll post it on the web when we get it so you can all see these wonderful grandkids that keep us going!
Orin will have to have 14 radiation treatments so that if I figure corrrectly will be this week and two more. We've had no more falls ... and have kind of figured out that the first one might possibly have been medication related...at least we are hoping so... we are over the initial shock and have our feet back on the ground and our eyes back on the Lord. I see Orin continue to be weak but his spirits are good. We have talked candidly and he looks forward to going home. ( Though we both are sad about parting and we both know that only God knows for sure that it is he not I that is going first). We are determined to do what we needs done and say what needs said without putting it off. If you are reading this it is because you love us. We encourage you to do the same. Please dont put off a visit or call... if you arent sure if its a "good time" just call and if its not I'll say so.. We love you all, and thank you for the many responses of support that we received. You are truely wonderful.
In Christ, Kathy
