September 18th We decided to get more nutrients in him, it had to be juicing because solid foods were causing him pain. I decided I would juice with him. Man, thats hard! I have always wanted to do a juice fast just for funzies. Now is my chance, I have a bigger reason and a push to do it but …
Where were you?
September 16th-a.m. This is one of Mark’s favorite songs…he sings it loud while he mows the lawn. Like at the top of his lungs. I can hear him inside. He has handed down this trait to Hatcher. They both sing it well. (video at the bottom) (Youtube has other versions of this song by the same artists if you want …
A Small Beam of Light, off in the distance.
Don’t get me wrong. We’ve not given up..because we really haven’t started yet. Thats really the big issue. What is with the waiting? Mark is frustrated. I’m frustrated. All my friends I have spoken to and love us..are frustrated. We are not really laid back kind of people. Some days I wish I was, but in this situation I’m glad …
How many hats can one gal wear?
September 13th So not only will I be (co)responsible for giving Mark dialysis every day (5 days a week) but I have also become his personal masseuse. The pain in his back has been overwhelming. If his gut feels okay, his back is killing him. I can only think that this is a direct by-product (yes, I believe that was …
September 11
I’m still here. There may not be alot happening, or not as much progression as we would like but we are still here and so I’ll continue to keep you all updated. We arrived in Grand Rapids just after 2pm. We were flown in a King Air (dual prop) by 2 pilots Mark knows and it was all arranged by …
Wrapping it up at Mayo
September 9th. We were up until 10pm at the Gonda Building getting Mark’s MRI completed. I watched people go in and come out but Mark’s seeem to take forever and we were the second to the last people to leave. We walked back in the dark. I don’t even remember what we talked about. Mark slept better last night but …
God Permits what he hates…
to accomplish what he loves. This is a quote from a website I read this morning given to me by a friend. (See link below. https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/ten-words-that-changed-everything-about-my-suffering?fbclid=IwAR3p26iIxG2ALryTUhY3gkYhgFdGgwR6hfxL_O4IeTwI5oob9Xd_OsLze5A A prayer sent to Mark…. “Because Mark has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon …
Rochester MN
September 7th Tuesday morning we finished packing and headed to Grand Rapids to fly to Rochester (you may have seen the FB stories). Because Mark is a corporate pilot and has “connections” in the local aviation world….we were able to fly the Lear Jet over to our destination. This is a big deal. Mark is always telling me how much …
Two bucks..2 cats
september 6th We were the only ones up in the neighborhood early Labor Day morning. As others slept in, we started the drive to dialysis on the Beltline. Coasting down Fruitridge, the early sun lit up a thin layer of fog hanging over a soybean field. Emerging from it were two bucks…deciding when they should cross over to the corn. …
Now that its quiet…
I don’t know what I wanted to type! Yesterday a flood of people came around us and helped out so much. It really is incredible and even though you know these people will do this..I’m still surprised. Why us? Once the kids got off to church and I was able to help Mark get cleaned up and get into some …
