June 25th. Evening

We are home.  Finally discharged from the hospital this afternoon.  There was gross miscommunication, but it all boils down to the fact that Marc cannot have the operation the doctor had planned.  It is too risky given the location of his tumor.  So, we spent three very long days up at OHSU.  We are frustrated and very tired.

But, tomorrow is a new day.  We are looking forward to sleeping in our own bed and looking at things with fresh eyes tomorrow.  It is supposed to be very nice weather and we look forward to just being a family here at home.  We need it.

Next week will bring a new chemo regimen.  We will start the new treatment on Wednesday.  Please pray that he can tolerate the treatment and that it is effective.  Marc hasn't received any breaks during his whole cancer treatment.  He has been faced with one defeat after another.  My prayer for him is that he would get a huge break in the coming days.  The ultimate break of a complete cure would be ideal, but right now we could do with just a glimmer of hope. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.  We needed everyone to help us carry our burden this week.  A special thank you to Lil, Lew, and Melanie for helping me with the kids this week.  I am grateful for the love my kids get from our family and friends.  Thanks for making their days as special as can be, while being sensitive to their anxiety and stress.   I am so very grateful for the blessing of friends and family.

With love and gratitude....
