March 28th – Update

Hey there, you miss the updates? 😀

It’s been about 2 months since the last update. It’s hard to give updates when there’s not much to update. Things have been pretty steady and the same. The answer to the “How’s Rebecca?” question I get asked several times a day is a complicated one, on a day to day thing there’s not much difference, we see her multiple times a day everyday, so changes are not as pronounced and get smoothed out as “normal” over time. Looking 2 months ago to today though, she’s notably weaker and more worn out and tired – both mentally and physically. This could be attributed to the build up of treatment though as we’ve gone non-stop since the end of December every 2 weeks. (11 or 12 treatments in a row)

I had been holding off until the scan that we did this week to see what it had to say to get an update to everyone. Results came in this morning, and it was very positive, so that’s a good thing. AI sums it up better than I can so:

This is a good thing, and I anticipate the oncologist will want us to continue on with the current treatment for now. The lung thing could be several things and is not necessarily a worry. Praise God!

Rebecca was supposed to get treatment this coming Monday, but we told them that she needed to skip a treatment as she needs a break mentally and physically. We will resume on April 13th.

Since the last update Abigail came home for spring break, and hung out with us, the picture above is from going to a movie of our favorite band (Twenty One Pilots) and we had a great time. Also last week (this current week) Annabelle had her spring break and wanted to go visit Abigail during it, so we went up to the UP to visit her at college for 4 days. Annabelle got to go to class with Abigail and we got to go tubing down a big hill. We also got to meet Abigail’s friends, and see lots of snow (if Trump had been there, he’d probably say it was “big beautiful massive amounts of snow, the best brightest fluffiest snow that America has ever seen”)

We were planning a trip to Norway/Sweden/Germany this summer, but we’ve amended plans to instead do a cruise, Rebecca likes that idea better and it will be more low-key and relaxed for everyone.

I feel like a broken record, but thank you all for your prayers and thoughts and love. We feel loved and cared for. We are continuing to be thankful for the time we have together as a family, as well as with our family/friends. Life moves fast, enjoy the moments., they are a blessing.

Love you all.
