Recovery Update

Greetings to all of you, our family and friends,

It has now been one week since I received treatment for my thyroid cancer. I won't go into too many details of the process or anything else, but just want you to know that I am no longer glowing at this point and am doing ok. I am still having some small residual side effects from the treatment as well as starting back on thyroid meds, but overall am functioning to the best of my ability. It will take some time for me to balance back out and get my strength, normal vision and thought process back. I will go in this Wednesday for another full body scan to make sure the treatment did its job. As far as I know, last weeks treatment should be all that I need to get rid of the cancer. Of course, we don't know for sure but our Lord does and that is all the matters to us at the moment! =D

People are still wanting to know how to be praying for us. I guess I would ask for patience. I know it can be a scary request when we decide to ask the Lord for patience but I don't deal very well with a slow recovery process. I want my body to just be back to normal right away and it just doesn't work that way. So I need to continue to rely on the Lord and remain humble in needing to slow down and even ask those around me for help until I am back on my feet. Mostly, our hearts are with Paul's dad who still is in the hospital trying to endure the process of fighting GVHD (Graft Verses Host Disease). Though they, Paul's parents, rely on the strength of our Father to carry them through this, they can grow tired and weary. We want to be able to be there as much as possible for them and desire them to feel the love of the Lord in their lives.

We want to say thank you to all of you who have helped us physically, offered to support our family and all the prayers that have been said on our behalf. We couldn't ask for a better prayer warriors and loving people to be part of our lives. We love and appreciate each and every one of you.

Blessings,
Kim & Paul

Where are we?

I know many of you are wondering if we fell off the face of the earth and if we hadn't, why isn't the blogsite updated!! Well, I wish I had a glorious story to tell you, but the reality is, I haven't been as good at doing this as I had hoped I would. So to the few of you that look at this, please except my greatest apology and I will try to get on here soon to get an update. I did get some basics updated on budget, praises and prayer requests.

Thank you for all of your love and prayers for our family!
