Tim has been more tired this round. He wants so badly not to be but, alas, his body just won’t let him do too much. This is very normal. The doctor said each round will be a little bit worse as his body is not able to recover as much each time. He did need to have platelets yesterday but that is all so far.
We had a good 4th of July weekend. We got to spend some time with our oldest grandson. We also go to spend time with Tim’s family in Cedar Rapids to celebrate his brother-in-law’s birthday, and the 4th with most of his siblings and many nieces and nephews we don’t get to see much!
On Sunday, Tim got the opportunity to meet a cancer warrior (also named Tim) whose cancer journey makes ours look like a walk in the park. He was very encouraged by this meeting and seeing how far Tim has come in his journey. We have been praying for him for a while now and it was good to see how well he is doing.
Just wanted to give a quick update and let you all know that we are still here and things continue to go as well as can be expected. Thank you all so much for your prayers and words of encouragment!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
We will be headed to Nebraska this weekend to help our daughter Emily and her family move back to this area. Tim will, as all dad’s do, want to do more than he should. Please pray that we will be able to keep him from doing too much. At the same time, please pray that everything goes well and we are able to get it all done!
PRAISES:
We are thankful that Tim has not had any more episodes of passing out. Despite the tiredness, he is feeling well. We have been around quite a few people recently and he seems to be handling that well also.
