Hi all: I'll begin with good news: the New York company I've been talking to has extended an offer. We're negotiating, but it is looking like a go. Your persistent prayers made this possible and I thank each and every one of you. Working from home is the best scenario for our family.
With chemotherapy done, Karen is looking at her options now. We home school 11 year old Shelby - which has been a real joy - but Karen is very anxious to get back into window treatment design on a part time basis. She continues to investigate the possibilities.
We need much prayer right now for our 7th grade daughter Kylie. This is a hard age, as you're all aware. Add to this the stress of her mother's situation and our economic concerns over the last few months in addition to just being in 7th grade.....
Humor is important to have when dealing with something like cancer and I have a story to share with you from last week. Karen fixed a beef stew recipe from a cookbook I bought her early in the cancer struggle called "The New American Plate Cookbook". It is a cookbook with many recipes rich with antioxidants (necessary for fighting the beast). Near the end of the meal, I found a hair in the stew. I pull it up and show it to Karen with a quizzical stare. She takes off her scarf to reveal a bald head and says "Don't blame me!".
We go to Kansas City tomorrow to see Karen's extended family, most of whom haven't seen her since the diagnosis. It's hard to see her mother, who has dementia so bad she will probably not remember us.
God's love to all of you today!
